Having been blessed with seven grandchildren I can't express enough, the love that I feel for each and every one of them. As a grandparent the need to spend as much time as possible with them is highly important. Time together to watch movies, going on day trips, fun times in the pool or find out how things are going at school, just to mention a few, rank high on my to-do list.

​

         Grandkids are a grandparents link to the future, Grandparents are kids link to the past. Expressed another way:

         “Grandkids are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation.” Lois Wyse

 

Equally important, time to support, encourage, and some words of wisdom during time they are troubled or stressed. Sadly, due to the digital age we live in, as a grandparent I compete with electronic devises for their attention and openness to listen. I had a need to be creative on how I can simply come along side them one on one to have quality conversation.

​

This was one of the reasons I wrote and developed Kids CAN garden. Being together, planning and working with them, creates a relaxed way to be engaged together and able to have the important conversations. So what I have learned from my past can be transferred and linked for them  in some way, in which they can carry into their futures.

There is no better time than NOW ……to lead the way!
