10 Reasons I Like It When My Grandson Spends the Night (Guest Post by Gigi)


Time’s running out to be included in our final Blog Posts by Number entry on June 30.

Mel and I (plus a whole mess of other bloggers) have been writing numbered posts all month. Scroll back through June to check them out. And get yourself included on our list of participants by writing just one (or more!) numbered post this month then letting us know about it.

1. I love him.

8. He REALLY enjoys a fried Spam and egg brunch with his grandfather.

9. The lawn and garden look better when he leaves.

10. I miss him when he’s not here.
