Dress Up Fun with Grandkids

When Sue and I were children one of our favorite activities while visiting our grandparents was dressing up in old clothes Grandma had packed away in a large box in an attic room.  My favorite was a pale yellow dress with a full skirt that swayed when I walked and made me feel so grown up and beautiful.  I would put that long dress on with a big sun bonnet and dance around the room.  Or, weather permitting I would swing as high as I could on the tree swing Grandpa had hung for us in an enormous tree in his backyard, feeling the soft material of the skirt as it blew up against my face, my eyes closed dreaming that I was the beautiful herione of the book I was reading.  (Even then I loved to read.)

My granddaughters have followed in their grandmothers footsteps.  They also love to dress up in old clothes I have kept just for them to play in. I pray that they are making precious memories of time spent with their grandmother as I did with mine.
