GRAND greeting

Saturday was my birthday, and I received many kind and happy greetings from family, friends and loved ones. (You Facebook friends? Sheesh...! You guys are awesome! And appreciated!)

I must say, though, that of all the birthday greetings I received, this was the most grand of all:

Megan told me that video was the third attempt, as Bubby was determined to make it absolutely perfect. As you can see, Mac had had enough of Bubby's perfectionism and was determined to just get the darn thing over with. Gotta love those goofy grands in their jammies!

Again, thank you to everyone for the fabulous birthday love sent my way. You all made it a true delight to turn another year older!

GRAND Social No. 161 link party for grandparents

Speaking of grand, it's GRAND Social time! Thank you for participating! Please share your links and visit (and, ideally, comment on) at least a few of the links of those who shared theirs.

How it works:

• All grandparent bloggers are invited to add a link. You don't have to blog about grandparenting, just be a grandparent who blogs.

• To link up a post, copy the direct URL to the specific post — new or old — that you want to share, not the link to your blog's home page. Then click the blue button below marked "Add your link" and follow the directions.

• Adding a mention such as This post linked to the GRAND Social to your linked posts is appreciated. Or, you can post the GRAND Social button anywhere on your page using the following code:

• The GRAND Social linky accepts posts through Wednesday evening, so please come back to see those added after your first visit.

• If you're not a blogger, you have the pleasure of being a reader. Those sharing a link would be honored to have you visit, read and, if so moved, leave a comment even if just "Hey, stopping by from the GRAND Social." Bloggers who link are encouraged to visit and comment on the links of other bloggers, as well.
