Better Than Hallmark!



Our granddaughter proudly delivered this home-made card to me at Thanksgiving.  While it may have started out being for her father ("Dad"), it ended up being for moi!  The sentiments couldn't be sweeter.


"Dear Grandma I like you (Dad) because your skin is fun."
 
From infancy, she has enjoyed pinching the loose skin on the top of my hand!  The fascination continues five years later.

  1. That's sweet Rebecca. I can remember pinching the skin of my g/mother's elbow (with much love for her) while she held me. Grandchildren are so lovable and funny!

  5. Rebecca, thanks so much for visiting my blog. You sound like my kind of gal with a Christmas all the time cabin in your back yard! Have a wonderful holiday season! (I bet those grandkids will play a big role in the fun of your holidays!)

  7. O.K. while we're at it, when I used to nurse Katie, she always had her hand in my arm pit!
    How weird is that?
    Love Di

  11. This card is priceless! You've got to frame it!

    My soon-to-be four year old granddaughter has always noticed a little mole I have on my neck. From the time she could talk, when she's on my lap and notices it, she says "Grandma you have a dot!"

    These are the happy things we'll hold in our hearts forever aren't they?
