My First Post

The most important title I’ve ever had in my life is “Mother.” The title of “Grandmother” is so close in my heart, it’s hard to relegate it to second place. I suppose, however, simply for the sake of birth order and my expanding age, I must. In my own life, “grandmothers” were somewhat elusive personages. Manners, politeness, being seen and not heard, were the orders of the day. To my own Darling Doodlebug I want to be a faithful friend, a trusted confident, a playmate with car keys who can swim pretty well, and, to her mother’s dismay, an occasional partner in crime. I also want to be a guide, when asked, to some of life’s mysteries, and a teacher to the crafts and facts that I’ve learned in my own travels and travails.post.
That's all for a beginning. I will write more, believe me. Till then, I remain faithfully, Katharine’s Grandmother.
