About 40 years ago, we got a call from our daughter. Just letting us know she is about to say Yes. Yikes! That means we, the two of us, could become grandparents! You know - Grandma and Grandad. Thanks for the warning but it was still a shock.
About 30 years ago, the two of us needed a house. We found a lot that seemed to satisfy our specifications. The same son-in-law was building houses. We asked him to build us one. We have been living in it since and it is terrific.
About 3 hours ago, we looked out the window and the same son-in-law was shoveling our driveway. We pay to have it shoveled but the shoveler uses the snow plow on the front of a pickup. It is great for giant snow drifts but it leaves about a half inch of snow behind. That half inch can be slippery and turn to ice. It bugs the same son-in-law. He likes us and doesn't want us to slip and break something.
If you want wonderful granddaughters, fascinating greatgrand kids and all-around good life, get yourself a great son-in-law. Let your daughters use their best judgment and you might be able to get the same son-in-law quality we have.
