Grandparent's Rights, Today's Sad State Of Affairs
The best situation for all concerned is to keep family ties solid and unbroken. The most important thing to remember for grandparents is that your children and their spouses are the gatekeepers to your grandchildren. Those happy, cute, little faces can be kept behind locked doors if you don't work on your relationship with your kids and their partners. A breakdown here can cause enormous heartache.

Mamaw's American Picture
My grandmother lived in Eastern Kentucky. She had purchased a picture from a second hand store that she told me stories about for many years. As life would have it, Antique Roadshow said it was an original Anheuser Busch poster.

What I Know and Remember About Baseball - Grandparents
As fields fall into disrepair and Parents struggle to balance jobs, home and sports a simple solution is available for all leagues in all areas from their most under utilized league resource. Back to 1974, East Tacoma Washington, it is game day, almost 10am. As Players and Parents cross the parking lot the seniors begin to gather at the fringe of the field. For them between the talking and their pace, it will still be 10 more minutes or so before they reach the bleachers.

Bridging The Old And The New
Grandparents have the unique task, at times, to occupy their granchildren's time in more creative ways, while still making it enjoyable and interesting. All grandparents were once children. It's funny sometimes how we can forget that small, but important fact, isn't it?

Bard (Or To Become A Bard)
Bard (or to become a bard) is a suggested program which grows out of a modern day trend. More and more grand parents are caring for children or children of their children. Practical applications are for parents of young children and those who wish to mentor. This course of study was developed by myself in 1999 and was only partially implemented prior to the dissolution of the CL program of GeoCities. I rewrote it to fit the needs of today.
