RE: Weather now grandkids

You are a good grandmother and in-law.  I suffered the same from my in-laws
and their interference with how we tried to raise our girls.  They also
"visited" annually when they moved to Colorado for 3-6 months at a time.  I
swore the same as you have.

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Donna, I suffered so from visits by my super-critical mother-in-law, who 
never approved of anything I ever did, that I swore I'd never do that to my 
children.  I try to get to see the kids at least once a year - though I'm
not always 
successful.  My oldest son's wife is not cordial, so I maintain a very 
careful distance there.  I'm always careful to be as helpful and approving
as I can 
be of anything, even though I don't always feel that way deep down.  Auralie
