If you have Grand kids you know what I am talking about,
Thanks to a past client who has a very good sense of humor and is
always ready to share a good laugh. After reading this email I have chosen to share it with the AR community. It may not have anything to do with real estate; well, wait a minute it may.

After a second reading I have decided to place this on my voice mail. What do you think?
Being a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 2, I think I may be adopting this format on my machine quite soon :)
I remember being told I needed to write longer letters than Dear Mom & Dad, things are fine - send money. Love...!!!
It's my turn now!! Actually we are now where you are & I can relate!!
Don...LOVE IT!!! I may have to think about thisone myself! Have a good day.
Ahhhh what are grand parents for Don:) It sounds like a great message to have - pretty much sums it up!
Yes I have kids, grandkids, and great grandkids I may use that for my answer machine at home.
Hey Don,
I agree and sometimes feel the same, but on the other hand it's good to live close to the grown kids. My parents STILL live 500 miles away and I feel like we've all missed a lot over the years. Still trying to talk them into moving to NC!
Don,
We've got twelve grandkids so far, and I love your post!
