Letter: About the sign in our driveway

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 7, 2020 - 2:08pm

Icon viewers:
The sign is in our driveway....for the past 19 years we have had anywhere between one and 10 grandkids at our house every day including the summer. As many grandparents in the area, we became day time caregivers and for 19 years have had some of the best memories a grandparent could have!

I also knew that our grandkids would eventually outgrow the daycare. Who would’ve ever guessed that it would’ve been because of the world situation that we’re all struggling with.
