Bob..I'm a grandparent( Pop Pop Jimbo) as well and look forwards to spending a week in St. Auggie with Charlotte aka Charlie who is 3, to teach her how to hunt for ghost crabs,vfind sand fleas, learn to ride a boogie board and to do a cannon ball into the deep end of the pool. Lesson #1 don't over think things and let them be them. We can teach them and yet we can learn from them as well, Good story !
Oh yeah, Summerhouse. By Matanzas Inlet. We stayed there a coupla times when our kids were young. Bunch o’ Leesburg folks have condos there as I recall. Enjoy yourselves
Lovely, Gramps. Thanks for diagnosing my condition - without a co-pay.
As you know, Greg, there's no cure.
Thanks for sharing your “Bobby” story, it was so touching and relatable.
Thank you for the sweetest thing I’ve read all day, Bob!
Appreciate it, Laura. And you too can call me Bobby.
I love EVERYTHING about this and have felt the same way… SO hard not to try and intervene 😬
Thanks, Pam. And now I'm glad I didn't intervene.
Looking forward to these because... sorry... they're all great
And you pulled your shirt over your face and cried…then what?
Then I played hide and seek. By myself. Still seeking ...
Bob, you had me going and as a dad my heart went out to your grandson, but as a great story teller does, you flipped my script. Whew!
Thanks, Stockton. I'm grateful to my grandkids for giving me a wealth of material. But I have to use it sparingly or that's all I would write about.
