Happy Grandparents Day

Today is a day to honor our elderly family members.  Grandparents have so much to offer in terms of family history and traditions but it is sadly often overlooked.  In our busy schedules we don't seem to find the time to just sit and listen to the stories they have to tell.  Take time today to really listen to some of the tales your grandparents can tell you.  Someday you'll be glad you did.  There are a number of sites you can visit to get more information on Grandparents Day.   Here are just a few you may find interesting.

Item of the Day

I choose this as item of the day because it reminded me of my own Grandma in so many ways.  For one thing, Grandma also had tissues close at hand.  But, more so this "sofa" tissue cover looks very similar to her comfy couch I recall from my childhood.  Made by Zessie Smith this attractive way to keep your tissues handy sells for $18 and would make a perfect gift to give Grandma today.
