    I will be retiring after the New Year (thank God). I really went over my alloted time!!!! I have 8 Grandchildren. 6 boys and 2 girls. Love them all. Want to know something---one of my grandsons is facinated by the workings of the sewing machine. Told him I would teach him whatever he wants to know. Very proud of all of them. 2 graduated from college, 3 are in college, the others are in elementary, middle, and high school. My does time go by. Enjoyed every minute!!!

    I have three galorious grand daughters (they are my angels), one of them who is 13 wants to quilt/ sew and I am gonna teach her as much as I can. I want her to learn how to learn this wonderous textile art and be creative and create her own quilts and clothes! The other two are 10 and 3 so I will teach them age appropriate things .. I hope its something they carry into adulthood...

    Do foster kids count. I'm on my 13th girl. The oldest is in his late 20's. The newest is a little one. She's only 3.

    Just wondered how many Grandparents are out there. Aren't Grandkids the greatest!
    :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

    Oh, forgot to mention I have ten!
    OH You are so blessed! I only have one. I only have one child and my mom only had two of us and my sister has two girls and 6 grandkids.I told mine she needs to find a hubby and get re-married and in that order
    :lol:

    By the way grandchildren are called grandchildren because they are GRAND! :thumbup:
