This week\u2019s look back in the archives comes from June of 2009. I wrote it after Mom and I took a quick road trip to the town where she taught school for over 30 years, the town where I grew up. Two years have passed, and I\u2019m even older enough to be a grandma, but our kids have not yet added that role to my job description. Since I still feel too young for the job, I\u2019m really and truly okay with that!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Coffee Club Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mom and I have returned from our travels. In our 36 hours away from home the grass grew exponentially, much to Hiram\u2019s chagrin, and the weeds did, too. Mom went to bed early and slept in late, and this morning she mentioned again how much she enjoyed the trip.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the excursion was the impromptu coffee my Aunt Donna (second from the right) hosted. Our former neighbors dropped what they were doing when they heard their former neighbor (third from the right) was in town and stopped in for a lovely chat. Not only was Mom their neighbor, she taught most of their children. She\u2019s now completely up to date on the lives of her former students, their children, and in some cases, their children\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

I am still in shock over the update, since many of Mom\u2019s former students are my contemporaries. So how can they be grandparents already? I mean, I understand the mechanics involved. But are these people, my age and younger, old enough to be grandparents of children in high school?<\/p>\n

A good look at the women who attended yesterday\u2019s coffee reveals the truth. We\u2019re all old enough to be grandparents, and some are old enough to be great-grandparents. But Mom, bless her heart, did not complain about the dearth of great-grandchildren in her family quiver.<\/p>\n

And to make things perfectly clear to my own children, I am not complaining about my empty quiver, either. No need to rush on my account. I\u2019m in for the long haul, ready to wait until you are ready for the joys and responsibilities of parenting.<\/p>\n

Until that day comes, I\u2019ll keep pretending I\u2019m not old enough to be a grandparent. Denial is a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
