Got this email reply from Grammie yesterday

Thanks for your kind words. Most of the time I felt pretty incompetent. I hate to see kids sit in front of the TV for hours on end, especially your three because they're exuberant about any little thing you do with them, and Jack's imagination is limitless. Glad they had as much fun as I did.

Love you, too

Hey Mom,

I just wanted to thank you for watching the kids this week. They had a really great time with all your activities! Thanks for trying to find things for them to do. I really appreciate all your hard work (and I know it was hard work!)

I love you!

Jeff

A story from Dad

Dad had collected a ton of orders for flowers from Totten Hall and I thanked him. Here's his reply!

"Believe it or not I remember when I was in Little League there was a contest each year on who could sell the most cans of salt & pepper for our fund raiser. Whoever did got their entry fee waived. My dad took it to Whirlpool a couple of years and I think everybody at Whirlpool bought cans of each. I don't know if I ever had to pay a fee when they had that incentive. Oh, the good ole days!!"
