Summer is winding down and so are the many adventures of Sheila. One of the most fun adventures this year was Nana Camp, a series of days spent with my granddaughters. (Yes,hard to believe I'm old enough to have granddaughters, isn't it? What can I say, I started young!) They are, of course, adorable. This is not surprising since they are related to my children. Yes, I know those of you with children and grandchildren think they're adorable too, but they're not as adorable as mine. Really. Getting back to Nana Camp though. This is such a fun thing to do with kids and I got the idea from my friend Debbie Macomber. Yes, I'm not too proud to admit that when it comes to doing cool things I have no problem moving right in on my friends' great ideas. Nana camp always involves fun activities, learning and baking or cooking. This year we had style camp where we practiced good posture by walking with books balanced on our heads, made bracelets and decorated Rice Krispy Treat flip flops. We enjoyed a spa day where we gave ourselves egg facials. Even poor Gerhardt had to have one. (This is what happens when you're dumb enough to stick around for Nana Camp.) And we had Germany Day where the girls learned about the German culture and language. And made soft pretzels with Grandpa. (Hmmm. Grandpa is beginning to horn in on Nana Camp. If he crashes the party next year we may have to dress him in a Tutu. Actually, he'd look fabulous. He has great legs.) But now summer is at an end and so is Nana Camp. It all went so fast.. just like the time with my own children. When I was going through the nutty years older women would say things like, "Enjoy these years, dear. They go so fast." And I'd think, "Yeah, right." And now, years later, I think, "You were right." Time with the ones we love is precious. I'm going to value every minute of mine! ![]()
