Grandparenting: Two Speeds

Daphne and Me, Wearing Our Costumes. April, 2015. Rich and I cared for my daughter’s two youngest ones this past weekend. Might I say, without putting too fine a point on it, that menopause was one of God’s very best design features? My respect for parents, and their keeping up with their loveable tilt-a-whirl preschoolers, is rejuvenated.
