I Couldn’t Wait to Post This

Our granddaughter had her 13th birthday on Friday, June 11th, and we celebrated her special day at her house in New Jersey with her other grandparents and of course her mom, dad, and brother. I couldn’t go empty handed, so hubs bought a special birthday card which we filled with cash. I found a small, pink, Gucci purse in my closet which was in pristine shape. Stuffed the card inside and voila! A gift that our granddaughter went berserk over! Her other grammy gave her an adorable Louis Vuitton bag, brand new, and loaded with lots of little zipper pockets. She went berserk over that, too. Her Bat Mitzvah gift the following day was the Mikimoto pearl necklace and a huge check for her bank account. We also gave our son a hefty check, as we’ve been doing since the day she was born, for her college fund. Her other grandparents did the check thing, as well. She went berserk over all that, too. We are all happy grandparents and thrilled to spoil her rotten. She deserves all that and more. She’s our blessing.

And because she's a special gift from God himself, all these lovely gifts were well deserved Nope, she's not spoiled rotten, this precious little lady is being "well cared for!" Love isn't just talked about, it's expressed by your family

I like your phrasing much better. We adore her and can’t help ourselves. Thanks so much. Her father said that she better marry a rich husband.

@DianneN And when she meets the mate God has selected for her, your granddaughter will know for sure. If we seek out the Lord's plan for our life, it's a beautiful experience!

@DianneN I thought she4 would enjoy them and she is lucky to have you start her off on real pearls, I remember that in my teens I could not get enough costume jewelry like earrings and long colorful pearl strands,

Hey, as a "masculinist" and ex-jock, I gotta lobby for your young hockey player as well. But I'm glad she's having special times too. I hope her skating is going well.

He wrote and delivered a hilarious speech about his position during this time. I gave him a little token gift, but his day will come, too, in less than two years. Thanks so much. She didn’t skate all last week, but I met the head coach and thanked him for all he has done for her.

It is wonderful she got just what she wanted. I hope she keeps everything safe, and is never a victim of crime while carrying it around.

I hope not, too. Fortunately, she lives in a safe community and it’s only material objects. Only you would think of something like that.
