Gran the Wise

I'm beginning to think my boys like to be with their grandmother more than me. I know Dean does, at least. He wiggles and romps all around the house when Gran arrives unlike any other time. And Jackson basically gets entertained nonstop for her entire visit. She promises (more like threatens) to teach him all sorts of fun things like lighting matches and sharpening knives and shooting her black powder musket. Whatever happened to the days when grandmothers baked cookies and embroidered sweaters? Jackson is still waiting on his "8-hour knitted blanket" that Gran reports may now be his high school graduation present. Maybe they can use it for target practice...
