    My dil's family does the same thing for my son and his wife. He has MS and she has post-polio syndrome so a lot of strenuous activity is out of the question. Her family will all get together three times a year, spring, mid-summer and before winter sets in. They all gather at their house and pull weeds, rake leaves, wash windows, etc. She cooks them a lovely dinner as payment and they do it all without asking. Truly a lovely family.

    A belated Happy Birthday to you. You have every right to brag on those Grandkids. What a great gift to you and a gift of giving of themselves that they will receive when finished. Bless all of you. You are one lucky family.

    I think you must be a very good Grandmother, my 4 boys loved helping my mother because she was so loving with them and really appreciated everything they did even if they did it wrong.

    I love the gifts that come from personal time and not just money. You are truly blessed.
