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

That is soooo true, Terry, and sometimes I feel so bad that I thought that way, but I did! I like company, but don't stay too long, please???

Phew… I’m glad it’s not just me being a grump. Thanks for the reassurance, Milt. Terry
