I had a great interview today with 85 year old GrannyBlogger (also my mother). She’s been blogging and creating information products for a few years now and in this chat, shares her knowledge about writing how-to articles. Listen, be inspired, and visit her blog at grannyblogger.com

Today is National Day of Hope, so I thought I’d write about one of our hopes. Next week would have been the 6th birthday of my great-granddaughter Sara. It’s been a while since she left us, not long after her second birthday, the result of a tragic accident. Every day we think of her and we miss her. My grandson and his wife have had two children since then and we love them dearly, but no one could ever replace Sara in our hearts.
Our hope is that she is resting in the Lord’s arms and some day we will see her again. Without hope, mankind would be more than miserable. But we do have hope, not wishful thinking, but the quiet assurance that comes from trust. If you have children or grandchildren that are no longer with you, don’t despair. Remember and treasure the memories, trust in God and look to the future. Morning will come again.

One of my granddaughters is in her third year at the Ontario College of Art. During 3rd year, if your marks and portfolio are very good, you have the option of taking your year at their campus in Italy. Of course she said yes and is having the time of her life.
Only problem is that she usually works two jobs as well as going to school to pay her way and in Italy she can’t work. So this donation button is for Michelle and if you contribute you’re supporting a young lady who one day may be a renowned artist. (Although I think she wants to teach and inspire young people.)
Grandaughter Michelle
This is Michelle on the left with her mother (my daughter). She is an amazing girl and as well as being gifted in art, is a terrific writer. If you don’t believe me, she blogs about Italy at The Adventures of Captain Defiance Drake (she’s a major Star Trek fan) Her future may very well be teaching high school art and English.

This past weekend, I attended Disney on Ice at the Rogers Centre (Skydome) with my 4 year old grandson. The show was two hours long, with a brief intermission half way. Toward the end, he was starting to get restless, but enjoyed most of it.
The “Cars” sequence was his favorite and was right at the beginning. We wished that part had been longer, but each of the acts was a little bit longer than the one before. Other than “Cars” and “Lion King” it seemed that the program was geared a little more toward the girls, with a lot of princesses and fairies. In fact, there were a number of little girls in the audience dressed up as princesses.
Overall, it was a nice afternoon. Grandson was impressed by all the colours and spectacular lighting and costumes. And of course, he wanted their pricey souvenirs of the event. (Having two grandmothers and mom with him ensured at least some little trinket). He left with a Cars twirly thing that lights up and a plastic sword. No, I didn’t get him anything. I’m not about to compete with the other grandma, so I spoil him when we’re alone.
Tips when you attend: continue reading…
Welcome to the world of grandparents! This site may be off to a slow start, like me getting up in the morning, but before long we’ll be up to speed. So come back soon.
