Grandchildren: my, they come and go so quickly!
Big brother, Little sister
He loves gazing at the moon "up high in the sky"
She wants to touch the sky
Happy to see Mommy and Daddy again
Sad to say "goodbye" again"
Come again soon!

@carolkean beautiful grandbabies, I see mine at this age and in a blink they are teenagers. It did not seem that my kids grew that fast, so why do grandkids grow that fast.
It's surreal, isn't it?? My parents had eight grandchildren and the youngest is in college now. The YOUNGEST is in college. I'm in awe of people who are great-great-grandparents. Must have started early with the child raising and passed on the tradition. It all goes by so fast!
@carolkean I use to hear that life goes by fast and did not believe it, now it is going to fast. It must be an age thing, it took forever to get to 21, then 20's, 30's, 40's, and even some of the 50's did not fly by but 60's you better hang on it is spinning out of our control.
That is so true!
At age ten, it was half a lifetime ago you were in kindergarten. At age 50, it was ... um... some bigger percentage of a lifetime ago that... well, it's all mathematical. The older we get, the faster a year will fly by. And I don't if Einstein found the explanation for that. His was that in outer space, you age less quickly, so after a year, an astronaut in deep space comes home till young, while his wife is an old woman now, as in the Queen song 39....
@carolkean I was not familiar with the song 39, I googled it and sent it to my Granddaughter, she is a huge Queen fan. I still do not know why as we grow older time goes by faster, it does not seem fair.
In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
Queen,'39
@carolkean I had never heard this one from Queen so when you mentioned it I googled and sent it to my Granddaughter, she is a huge Queen fan. Thank you for the printed words.
A year seemed like an eternity when I was in grade school. From the falling leaves and Homecoming to Halloween and then Christmas - it felt like forever. Then I was a mother. When the last day of school came in May and summer vacation began, I knew Christmas would be here quicker than a sneeze. I have a jar of marshmallow cream in my cupboard that expired in 1999. I finally disposed of it. Everything has expiration dates that come around so suddenly. You're right, it doesn't seem fair!
For my grandma, though, time didn't seem to fly by. She lived to age 97, but she didn't get out much. "You NEVER come see me," she'd say every time we came to see her (once a month or so). Time wouldn't have dragged for her if she'd found other uses for her retirement years... you are busy, @myjob, and will never have time to bored!
@carolkean my goal is to make it to 100, your Granny came close to it. I have an Aunt who is 94 and still drives, lives by herself does all her own shopping and teaches a Sunday school class, she drives around her neighborhood and picks up the kids who parents don't go to Church so the kids can go. She is awesome.
I love your aunt! I hope to be like her at 94. I don't expect to see 100, but with medical advances, who knows! You seem fit and active and likely to have that gene for longevity. May you live to see many greats-great grandchildren. :)
At age ten you were in Kindergarten? I was in high school.
Time for a space visit
LOL! Let me rephrase that. Instead of "At age ten, it was half a lifetime ago you were in kindergarten," it should be when you were ten, five years was half of your lifetime. You were age five and in kindergarten half of a lifetime ago." By age 50, that was 95% of your 50 years ago. Eeep!!! I cannot find the right mathematical language for this. Where is @oswago??
Um, @owasco (our resident writer who's also good at math; how rare is that?)
Not oswago
Must need more coffee!!!!
Actually I was in Kindergarten at age 3 and 4. I was what they called 'an early student'.
We have no Kindergartens anylonger they are together with primary education. It is more like kids have to go now. Kindergarten was a free option.
Since kids become more stupid and cannot speak Dutch it is a must.
They also advice school for toddlers, which is not daily only 2 half days a week unless you are a kid of a foreigner. They are more stupid and should go more frequently (and still can not speak Dutch after spending 16 years of their lives about 8 hours at school). 🤐
My two youngest kids are clearly not stupid. Are foreigners too in the country where they started school new. They did not speak the language, did 2 classes a year (for 3 years long), we speak our own language at home, only watch films etc in English. September one will go to the next school and have German. They always been the best of their class.
🤔 perhaps they are not smart but the rest of the school is?
We wait for @oswago for the math formula 👍💕

Because you see your children every minute and your grandchildren once in a...
So in your mind you still have that last picture of them.
