Sweet Wording for Grandmother or Grandfather
Sweet Quotations, Saying and Words of Love for and about Grandparents are here to enjoy and use. These are kind sayings about Grandma and Grandpa to write in cards, to use in scrapbooking, or to use on crafts. Lots of ideas!
Grandparents are so special. They do so much for the family and are such an inspiration. Scrapbooks are a wonderful way to save memories of these wonderful family members. Another great idea is to make a memory book for Grandparents full of memories of grandchildren and children. What a charming gift!
Whatever you do with these loving words, I hope they bring you fond thoughts, a smile, a touching memory. My grandparents are all gone now, but the memory of them lives on in my heart and in pictures and words.
"And life is what we make it. Always has been. Always will be." - Grandma Moses

The Value of a Good Quote
A Fondness for the Written Word
The Value of a Good Quote
A Fondness for the Written Word
My grandfather was fond of quotes, and of words in general. He had many poems and quotations memorized, that he would often share with others. As a grandchild lucky enough to live close enough to see him a few times a year, this fondness of words rubbed off on me. I am writer (and webmaster) and have affection for and interest in good quotes.
My children, too, have caught the bug. They frequently quote from books and movies and are avid readers of good books. My daughter has notebooks filled with wording she enjoys and my son will often stop me to read an especially good passage from a Redwall or other well-written volume. Even clever comic strips are taped up on the refrigerator (hey, we're not snobby about our quotes).
Sharing quotes with others is a passion of mine, and probably one of yours, if you are reading this page. Simple words can make a big impact. You never know how a quote might change someone's thinking just a touch or cause someone to have an epiphany. I hope you enjoy the fine words on these and my other quote pages.
