My nine yr old granddaughter asked for a typewriter for Christmas. This Meme found one on marketplace! She also asked for a cassette player, we'll, Amazon to the rescue and thanks to Ebay for Jerry Clower and Ray Stevens cassette tapes. Shes an old soul that wishes we could rewind the world a little. I have to agree with her.
JERRY CLOWER--really? How unique! I get the Ray Stevens "like" though!! Good for her...embracing "yesteryear". 9 years - my how I wish I could rewind to spend the growing up years again with my 3 PA grandsugars--they are all "big people" now! ENJOY, friend!
Thanks for the Bio. Kids learn what you teach them and they are not exposed to the cartoons and shows of today. Little House on the Prairie, the Waltons, Beverly Hillbillies and Andy Griffin are good shows. We don't need the garbage tv of today.
That's the kind of shows we raised our sons on - unfortunately, my grandsugars started out wholesome but ended up on YouTube "influencer" channels that really concerned me. I told my youngest son about their oldest (a daughter) being interested in a program that dealt with teen age suicide issues--and he forbade her to watch it anymore--then she tried to "finagle" Granna to let her watch it--I said "no way"--you don't need to fill your mind with that garbage!!
That's what my youngest son wanted for his 3 children - his wife had other ideas - she's from the public school system and Jeremy "lost the battle", sad to say. She even got their pastor involved in the discussion. My DIL rules the roost!! I stay away from the "tough issues"--none of my beeswax!!
We all have our differences. Some are more "earthy" than others but health, school and church we all agree on. I'm very blessed and very close with my grands. I see them on the regular.
What a blessing for you and your grands, Karen - I used to see my PA grands regularly--now that they're adults...not very much at all, sad to say!! I moved 56 miles away from them 4 years ago...I miss their "youthful vibes" in my life for sure!!

Here's a grand bio on Mr. Clower--I had no idea he was so well loved and his testimony was given at each of his performances! https://www.baptistpress.com/resource-library/news/baptist-layman-jerry-clower-top-country-comic-dies-at-71/

How many grandsugars do you have Karen?
5 ages are 11, 9, 4 and two 18 mo.
Oh--what fun!!! Are the twins identical or fraternal?
The little ones are nine days apart.
Bet your get togethers are loads of fun--LOL!!
Not twins, boy from my daughter and girl from my son. He has four kids and she's just getting started. Homeschooling for all of them.
