Good Morning. I am happy to be back and have a few days to get caught up with all the new submission notifications by my favorite writers that are in my inbox.

Hey Jan,

What a cute poem and what a lucky girl Lexi is to have such a devoted Nana. One day, you need to make these into a book for her. How darling.

Great job,

Hugs,
Gayle

This is a wonderful piece, bringing your grandparents to readers' attention. I loved the flow, and your rhyming scheme was masterfully crafted.

Very nicely done.

I believe they don't believe because in this era it rare to see children and adults having fun and communicating with each other.

Lovely piece and picture, Jan. What a wonderful time to just 'hang out." Nothing pressing to do but truly enjoy each others company.

Hi Jan
I loved reading this poem about how much you and your granddaughter enjoy "hanging out" with each other, possibly because I so enjoyed hanging out with my gran :-)
Your love and joy are expressed beautifully.

Jan, another sweet story for Lexi's book. She will
get so much joy out of reading all her stories
and her time with her nanny.

I hope so, jude -- today, we all met for lunch after church -- when my daughter pulled into the parking lot, Lexi said, "There's Nanny's car, that means she's here. I just love my Nanny." How can you not love a child like that? love, jan

Grandparenting gives one a second chance at parenting. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.
