On being a Nana!!

I guess being a Nana for the first time is a lot like being a mother for the first time, but at the same time, it is different. I haven't had much time with Lj but I am getting ready for when he comes home from Georgia. I have been crocheting and baking. Isn't that what Nana's do??? I have several projects that I am working on, nothing earth shattering or anything like that. Just little projects. I like doing little projects...it makes you feel like you have accomplished something and it relaxes me. And I have baking!! Cookies, cakes, brownies...getting ready for when he can eat these things. Right now they are just making me fatter. But then, Nana's are supposed to be chunky. I hope he gets home soon. I want to color, and paint and play with finger paints. I want to make pudding and bread and go to the park. I want to read stories and more stories and all that good stuff that you never had time to do with your own children because you were too busy with laundry and cleaning. That's why God gives you a second chance...you've slowed down and now you have time to play. I am just so happy to be a Nana. There is nothing better in the whole wide world. Nothing!
