Flashback Friday 8.6 "Gram's"

The challenge was to do a layout of where your parents sent you when they had enough of you over summer vacation from school. lol....paraphrasing actually. So here is Billy, Buttons and I on the swing in Gram's backyard where we were sent. And those were my favorite words - pack your bag you're going to Gram's. YEAH!!! I didn't do a lot of journaling here because I've covered it other places. But I know it was my favorate place to go. My grandparents were the most laid back, easy going people in the world. And they let me be me. (not only that but I had a tremendous crust on the paperboy).

And with such good role models, I envisioned my grandparenting to be same. Well it can be the same, just not spontaneous weekend/overnight, come in the summer and have your parents forget to pick you up times. However, reality is not cooperating. Being long distance quite frankly sucks, but I'm learning to make the most of whatever opportunity comes my way.

Creative Imaginations die cut (I LOVE THOSE - which I'm sure you can't tell because the last 300 lo's I did were die cut). Snort. Prima, burlap, qk=holiday, bling and noteworthy, 7 gypsies.
