Yes, Lorchen, it is wonderful to know you are enjoying the girls. They grow so fast. And nothing makes a grandma feel better that a tight hug form a darling granddaughter or grandson. It will take a while to get used to the new routine, but you will love it and will find the time to do what you want to do. That does not include cleaning. I never seem to find time for that. There is always fabric to be washed, ironed, or cut; or sewing to be done. I do manage to squeeze in some cooking when I have too. :lol:
I am wishing you the best of days to relax and enjoy the important things in life: the children.

Well, you all may have guessed from my silence that I'm just a wee bit busy. This retirement thing came up to suddenly and unexpectedly that I'm still trying to sort everything out. The amount of paperwork and the time it takes to sort out finances, tax, etc. has been a lot more than what I expected.

It didn't help that since retiring on the 1st of October I had to deal with a leaking toilet. Then the boiler broke down, and my cooker stopped working. All within three weeks. Sigh......

My grandmother duties started the day after I retired from work, and it's amazing. I didn't realize how different hard work feels when there is no negative stress involved.

Once I have managed to get into some sort of routine you'll hear from me again more regularly. Right now I'm prioritizing from my list of priorities, and I'm 4 (!) shows behind.

YOU managed to make me jealous ..... even with all the mechanical breakdowns...... Pardon my ignorance ... what is a cooker ??? is that the same as a stove??
