Well, have to share my 2 grandpas--my grandpa Roberts
was a cowboy and hunted predators in Arizona for the
government.  Every Sunday after church we'd have
dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's house and after we had
eaten our fill and I'd drunk glasses of instant iced
tea with lots of sugar, he'd tell cowboy stories. 
When I was in Kindergarten he traded some parakeets
for a Shetland pony named Misty.  She came with a
bridle which was way too big for her but I carried it
to Kindergarten with me like a purse.  I rode her
around without bridle or halter, we went where she
wanted to go, and when she was through with the ride,
she just jumped a bit, I fell off and rolled out from
under her.  She bit my mom, but never hurt me.  Now,
my other grandpa, McConnell, was Irish and we didn't
see him often, but when I was six we visited him in
Oregon and he told me he'd sent a caravan to my house
with elephants and ponies, all decorated to the hilt. 
Got home and waited for a long time for that caravan
to arrive..... it was the last time I saw him because
he died when I was seven.  

REMEMBER all you grandmas, grandpas, and future
grandparents, what stories will your grandkids
tell?????
