Having just returned from vacation and having had company for the past several days, I almost forgot to blog ~ again. So, I checked the handy holiday website and found that it's Grandparents’ Day, and I thought it would be fun to share pictures of my grandparents. Here's one of my Grandma and Grandpa Chelikowsky, along with Dad (left) and my three uncles. I don't remember Grandpa well, but I sure remember being Grandma's little princess ~ her "baby's" baby girl.
Both grandfathers died before I was born, but I remember visiting Grandma Hinton’s house when I was very young. Favorite times with Grandma Lindsay were riding my bike to her house after swim lessons and having cookies and tea and the big family Christmas celebrations at her house. I had 18 cousins.
What does this have to do with books? Think about how many sweet romances you’ve read that have had a meddling grandparent, a sympathetic grandparent, or a grandparent who has taken in a main character, or helped them in some other way.
In fact, I have a two-book series, What the Heart Wants, in which the main characters’ grandparents play a crucial role in the hero and heroine’s romance.
Octogenarian Ellie Alexander is in love. And the only thing sweeter would be if her unmarried, unattached granddaughters could find the same happiness. Maybe with a bit of help from Ellie and her beau, Blake Parker …
Do you have favorite memories of your grandparents or of being a grandparent?
