This is in honor of John and all the other Grandparents that inhabit Highlander Radio! Thanks again to Dr. Bob Griffin! (By the way, John, great photos of the grandkid! Good looking!)

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give
me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild. ~Welsh
Proverb

A grandmother is a babysitter who watches the kids instead of the
television. ~Author Unknown

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The
next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam Brown

Grandchildren don't stay young forever, which is good because Granddaddies
have only so many horsy rides in them. ~Gene Perret

Grandmother always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all
day and now the day was complete. ~ Marcy DeMaree

Grandmothers hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts
forever. ~Author Unknown

If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had
them first. ~Lois Wyse

My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after two or
three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene Perret

If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every
one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like
it! ~Hannah Whithall Smith

Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old. ~Mary H.
Waldrip

An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again. Anything
longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Gene Perret

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You feel
completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which
is why most grandparents flee to Florida. ~Dave Barry

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of
sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Alex Haley

One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new grandbaby around the
finger of a grandmother. ~Joy Hargrove

It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you become one. ~Author
Unknown

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have around and
easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren. ~Author Unknown

Grandchildren don't make a woman feel old; it's the knowledge that she's
married to a grandfather. ~G. Norman Collie

The best thing about being a Grandparent is you can send the kids home when they get on your nerves!
