MY FAMILY . . . . (hint: not actual photos) (hint #2: Click on the picture to enlarge)

This is my small family. My large family, which includes Bernie's kids (4), Bernie's grandkids (18), spouses (17), and great grandkids (41) would either blow up my computer or blow up my brain while I tried to get them all in a drawing.

So, I just settle for this . . .

It reminds me of who is important. It reminds me of each little thing about each one that is special. I LOVE THEM ALL ! !

As long as I have known you, I don't remember you being called Nutter Grandma - learn something new all the time, huh? What a cute story on how you obtained that name. You are doing a great job with your blog spot. Like me, I just kept playing around, learning as I go. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Why I'm called "Nutter Grandma"

Many years ago, one of my daughters married a man with children. The youngest was barely learning to talk. His father told his kids they were going to have another grandma. The next time one of them saw me, he called me "Nutter Grandma" and it stuck.

Then, I became a grandma of my own sweet grandchildren. As of now, there are nine. I always hope for more -- but the older my children (and grandchildren) get, the less likely that is.

Later, I became a "step" grandma and a "step" great grandma. So, in many ways, I am still Nutter Grandma. Amazingly, no matter how many of those little ones come into my life, and no matter how they come, I love them all!

P.S. In 2010 I became "step" grandma to a few more grandchildren when I married (yup, again). I guess those little ones who called me "Nutter Grandma" almost 30 years ago knew what they were doing.
