Congratulations and all that, though I don't feel old enough to be a Grand Parent, even though you are a month older than I. Our oldest is but 25 and there is some negotiation that needs to go on before she settles down.

All that being said, I was surprised at my 20th High School reunion by one of the young ladies telling me that she had recently become a Grandmother. You do the math. It wouldn't surprise me if she is a Great Grandmother when we meet for out 40th reunion in another 3 years.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78262 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78262 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:17:15 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78256 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78256 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:47:20 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78254 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78254 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:13:50 -0600

congratulations to your son and soon to be daughter in law.  May the baby be a joy to them and to you and Beth.  God bless them and make their path easy.  Barring that, bless them with the ability to always overcome. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78200 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78200 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:06:21 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78199 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/09/on_a_day_of_ref.html#comment-78199 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:26:01 -0600

Grandchildren are great though...you can play with them for a hour and then give them back. And you can use them to do things your wife disapproves of.
