CHANGING DIAPERS AT 60...................

What does it take for a 60 year old man to change a diaper for the very first time in his life??
The same thing that gets him to put on a pink "Princess" crown....a very cute granddaughter!!
The Boss was not much hands on when the daughter was little....Didn't changed a diaper....Didn't feed her....never got up during the night....It wasn't until she was about 3 that he felt comfortable with just the two of them....... Something to do with thinking she would break.........They always went to the movies together and just hung out while I worked my little part time job.....
All that has changed when our Miss "B" came along.....
Here's grandpa down on the kitchen floor the other day.....pink crown in place.....craft box emptied.....and enjoying every minute of it....

Me and daughter went out to the local spa for a pedicure and left the grandpa in charge....
A good time was had by all and a diaper even got changed....
I was somewhat shocked by that one.....

here they are up in B's room reading a story or two......
Can you tell he is her favorite "Boss" of all time...


How cute is this??
Miss "B" and the rest of the Fam took off the other day for Rome and we are missing them....
We are enjoying being back in Jersey.....my first stop was to the local Stop and Shop for
Taylor Ham....cheese....some tomatoes....and hard seeded rolls....
It's a Jersey thing....
Yesterday was spent down Long Beach Island.....
tomorrow is visisiting with the "Big Boss"....
Oh, there will be stories to tell.....
In the meantime....I cannot sent e-mails....my computer... which I lugged all the way here won't connect to daughter's server.....The only other snafu we have run into is..........


I thought once and for all I killed the damn cat......
No...........cats apparantly just sleep this way.....
Thanks Miss Kitty for giving me a catsitter's headache.....

About that email thing. I have found when traveling that Outlook Express (and probably Outlook), which I used for sending and receiving email will not connect to a "foreign" server. I can receive email but not send it. However, my ISP, ATT (formerly BellSouth) has a website where I send email. It's a pain, because I sometimes have to look up email addresses on Outlook Express, but it works.

Sue,

What a cute post. Your granddaughter is just precious and I love all her curly hair (she probably won't some day). Your hubby and mine sound like they were cut from the same cloth, what is it about granddaughters? LOL

Glad to hear you are having a good time in Jersey, can't wait until you are back on the computer.

Drat about connectivity

Wonderful wonderful pix of The Boss and Miss "B".. that smile says it all and trust me he didnt want to sit around a stinky diaper so he changed it.

I mailed you something last Monday.. did it arrive before you went housesitting AND now that you are in NJ when are you coming in to see me?

Old dogs can learn new tricks - even change a diaper when they are motivated by such cuteness!!! She is only getting cuter, isn't she? Have a great time in NJ. Sally

The first week of June would be great!

Sounds like you have one crazy visit ahead of you - I hope you can get everything accomplished. But it's good you can come back again so soon.

Looking forward to meeting.

I was wondering why you were not sending e-mails. Anyway...the Boss looks good in a pink crown. And...all is well on the southern front.

Aw Sue ...this is precious! There is nothing like a little grand baby to melt a grandparent's heart ...even enough to do a diaper change..lol!

Ms. B is really a charmer!

It must be fun to be back for a visit in "Joisey"! :-) Enjoy!

Oh gosh, I burst into laughter at that last photo and your comment. Your Miss Kitty is a jokester isn't she!! Yes, cats DO sleep like that sometimes. My own Miss Kitty has been seen in that position, particularly when there is sunshine and warmth pouring down on her.

I see a family resemblance (around the eyes especially) with Miss B and granddad! That's wonderful...they look so sweet together.

I think one of the best parts of being a grandma is watching grandpa with the grandkids. Who knew it would be so much fun? Have fun in New Jersey! Mimi
PS The pink crown really makes a statement. Bravo!

LOL My three persians used to all sleep like that...Max does it occasionally now! You are a riot!
I love the pics of Mr. Rue Moffetard with grandbaby...how cute is that! Now you know he is totally a confident man if he can wear a pink crown...I'm impressed!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
