The next Grilled Grandma

See this content in the original post

This week's Grilled Grandma, Susan, spends more time thinking about grandparenting duties than any grandma I know. That's because she's the About.com Guide to Grandparents and seriously works that role, dispensing all things "grandparent" to the many followers of the site.

As busy as she is, I'm sincerely grateful Susan took the time for a grilling. For one thing, her responses introduced me to something all grandmas should know about: Bananagrams. What are Bananagrams? I had the same question when she mentioned it as one of the things she likes to do with her grandkids. So I googled it and THIS is what I found. I so cannot wait until Bubby can Bananagram with me!

On a more serious note, Susan touched my heart with her wish for what she hopes to pass down to her grandchildren: "I want my grandchildren to be generous souls who care about others, who are open-minded, who stand up against bigotry and demagoguery and greed." The words of a truly kind and wise grandma.

Read about banangrams and more in Susan's grilling, which you'll find right HERE.

Today's question:

What is your favorite fruit ... excluding Bananagrams?

My answer: Raspberries -- on their own, in jam, mixed in a fruit salad, topping sweet cream ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery! Mmmmm....!
