Granddaughters Are Miracles in Motion

Ellie is now 6 years old and still the love of my life. I learn the most amazing things from Ellie. She is always thinking and asking questions and sometimes I wonder how that little 6-year-old mind can conjure up those questions. The current craze is Hannah Montana and of course that is who she is for Halloween 2008. She has my radio tuned to the Radio Disney and she knows most of the songs and who is singing them. It is very difficult to be unhappy when she is around because she has so much energy and imagination.

She loves to make up riddles and one of her favorite games is "Are you as smart as a fifth grader. She will take turns coming up with a question to see if you can answer it and then it is your turn to come up with a question for her to answer.

She loves to play games with her grandmother "Mimi" like Clue and Monopoly and Spoons and she can beat you most of the time. I can get pleasure from just watching her go at it with Mimi. A hug and a kiss are priceless.

She voted in school for the elections and she voted for John McCain. I voted for Barack Obama. I told her I was glad she made her choice and just because we did not agree did not mean we cannot love one another. She then told me "Gramps, I voted for McCain and you voted for Obama and I still love you and you still love me". We all need to take that approach when we have a legitimate difference of opinion.
