Now that we are grandparents, it is a fact: Grandparents are not old. A new generation of grandparents has emerged. No more plastic covered couches and stuffy sitting rooms. No smell of moth balls and antiseptic. Instead, we have IKEA colored homes, golf clubs in the closet and Glade Plug Ins with aromatherapy scents. Our grandchildren think coming to our house is "cool". And why shouldn't it be? We have time to spend with them, interesting hobbies, more knowledge than the entire high school faculty and the world's best food! Celebrate your grandparenthood!
