I enjoy great writing.  I once read an entire feature article in an in-flight magazine about mountain biking because it was so well written.  And I’ve never been mountain biking  (especially the wild riding that was described in the article) nor will I ever!

And that is what I like best about Grand Gifting.  The good writing.

Grand Gifting is a site that sells quality products to grandparents to help them create a grand life with their grandchildren.  (Isn’t that grand?)

You know what I like best about the site?  It isn’t cold and business-like.  It has a personal feel to it instead of being like a site for a business like the big box-store chain that shall not be named (but rhymes with K-Mart).  It doesn’t have advertising blarney.  It feels like you are sitting in your living room with a good friend having a chat.

Ronda Kay, the site owner, has a fun section called Revolutionary Thoughts.  She has an article about unconventional playthings.  A must read.  Great idea!   I think I’m going to add some of those unconventional playthings to my toy closet.

Then there is the Treasure or Trash.  Another must read.  And How My Mother Saved Mickey Mouse.  You guessed it.  Another must read.

Yes, this site is a ‘business.’  A business with a personal feeling.  After reading her Revolutionary Thoughts you might want to poke around and see what she has to offer.

Twenty-two years ago we bought two acres of land.  We bought it during the wintertime.  It was covered in snow.  Snow that glistened and sparkled like diamonds in the sun.  I thought it was beautiful.

Then spring came.  The snow melted.  What I thought were small snowdrifts were actually big rocks.  Rocks!  We’ve been battling rocks ever since.

Planting grass, flowers, trees, and shrubs was a difficult task.  We had to pick rock and haul them away.  When we dug holes, we had a six-foot long heavy pry bar to dig out the boulders.  Yard work was WORK!

That being said, I thought that I would share with you a fun site for creating springtime flowers.  (I wish it were this easy in real life!)

Click here to create your springtime flower garden.  Click your mouse on the screen to ‘plant’ flowers.  You can also hold your mouse down and drag across the screen.

Spend some time with your grandchildren making your flower garden.  It’s a delight to watch the flowers appear.  (Send the URL to your far away grandchildren so they can have fun, too.)
