Too Much of a Good Thing

It’s great to see family on Christmas Day
To watch the grandchildren so joyful and gay
But next day I put my feet up and I say
Boy, am I glad that they didn’t stay

My father-in-law said the best part of being a grandfather was that one could love them and send them on home . . . .Enjoyed!"

No, just an entertaining one that she possibly enjoys.

Ahhh, Eve. I once laid on an upstairs bed, at my great granddaughter’s insistence, and pretended to go to sleep. I did some comic snoring… it’s now compulsory entertainment! Every single time she visits… it’s the snore-a-thon… god, it’s tedious… but she loves it… so what can one do… except snore! Am I an awful great granddaddy? ;-) Terry
