Part of being able to connect with our grandkids depends on a certain amount of computer knowledge, especially if they live a distance away. Today’s young people are a computer generation, no matter what their age. Knowing at least a little of their computer world also gives us more to talk to them about. I enjoy writing computer tutorials and would love your input on the topics I should cover. Please take a minute to answer the following short survey and help me decide what to focus on. Thank you, I appreciate it.

SuperGrammas United

Posted on Thursday by Gramma C

Post to Twitter

This is a little poem I wrote. I’ll put it on the poetry page as well so you can easily print it off and stick it on your frig or something. I’ve also videotaped myself reading it, but haven’t been brave enough to put it on Youtube just yet. I’ll put a link here once I do.

Anthem of the SuperGrammas

Grammas come in different sizes, shapes and colors, ways of dress.
Some Grammas let kids play and run and even make a mess.

A Gramma can be young or old, some travel and some cook.
Others like to exercise, or sit and read a book.

Ava, Memaw, or Granny, Grandmother or Grandma,
No matter what you call us, as long as it’s not Paw.

We’re SuperGrammas, yes we are, with hugs and lots of love
Because children need a hero so that they can rise above.

Our grandkids mean the world to us. We want them to be strong.
Able to cope with the cares of life and stand against the wrong.

So join us in our quest for good. It might be quite a war,
But Supergrammas won’t give up. Together we can soar!

Blogging and Seniors

The following is an article written by GrannyBlogger I thought you might enjoy:

Article writing really works. I was getting fewer and fewer visitors to my blog this past month. Then I rewrote one of my ezine    articles and after it was accepted, my daily visitors increased by thirty to forty people. This doesn’t seem like much but when you are just starting out it gives quite a boost to your enthusiasm.

Another way to get more visitors is by repositioning your blog posts. Look back over the previous posts on your blog, freshen them up to make them more relevant to the present time and publish them anew. With a WordPress blog it is very easy to preview your post, save it as a draft, publish it when you are ready or schedule it for publishing at a later date.

If you are just thinking about starting your own blog, there are four reasons why this is a good idea:

- First, it will help you fine tune your writing skills and allow you to master the written word.
- Second, you will find yourself analyzing everything you read in your area of expertise in order to develop clarified thoughts on how to express your own opinion on the topic.
- Third, blogging is a great networking tool as you will start to develop friendships with other bloggers who cover the same topics.
- Fourth, for those of us known as Seniors, blogging is a way to present our ideas, memories, ambitions and even our favorite pictures, to an interested online readership.

Since I have been blogging I have become more interested in all the ways that others enjoy this pastime.

How To Enjoy Playing Your Electronic Piano Keyboard and make your family and friends rave about your new found talent – A guide to get you off to a fast start. Each step will take you closer to becoming the piano keyboard player that you have always wanted to be. Let your fingers lead you through the music and then find more excitement when you reach the “resources” page at the end of the guide. Uncover your hidden musical talent and create beautiful music while you enjoy your electronic piano keyboard.

Sibling Rivalry

Beyond Sibling Rivalry: How To Help Your Children Become Cooperative, Caring and Compassionate
Sibling rivalry – does it ever stop? I was the oldest of five children, most of us less than two years apart. I don’t remember always fighting with my younger sister when I was a pre-schooler. But maybe I better ask my mother first before I get too proud of my behaviour as a child.

Anyway, Grandboy I watch during the day is five now and Grandbaby Girl is over a year old. I know he loves her to pieces, but he is so jealous it’s driving me round the bend. (Although if you ask my kids, I past that bend a while ago.) Whatever toy she has, he wants it. If she wants a hug, so does he – that part I don’t mind. He’s constantly upset that she touches his things, or follows him, or gets more attention than he does.

As you can probably tell, this supergramma is losing her powers pretty quick. Part-time day care at a nearby center is starting to look very tempting. I think watching them two or three days a week instead of five will be best for all of us. Then I have time to do my own things and it gives me a chance to miss them.

I want to enjoy them and spoil them, not spend my time sounding like a grouchy old bear who woke up while it was still winter.
Am I wrong?

Treasure the Memories

Posted on Tuesday by Gramma C

Post to Twitter

This coming week will mark the fourth anniversary of my little great-grandaughter’s death. My grandson’s wife created a beautiful and moving memorial video for her. Although it will make you weep, I wanted to share it with you. Then I want you to hold your family a little closer and treasure them with all your heart.
