To my daughters: The most important thing I have ever done is play a part in creating each of you. You inspire me, make me whole and are God’s greatest gift.
Keep your sense of Humor and don’t take ANYTHING I write PERSONALLY
“I am ME and so it BE”
Sassy’s Poodle Parlor
AND HOW IT CAME TO BE
April 25, 2011
I am not going to art today either, though I wish I could.
As soon as Garrett gets here, I will tell her how WONDERFUL her children were; kiss her on the cheek and say welcome home. I was glad to do it...blah, blah, blah. BUT, here is the truth
Dale and I might get drunk, as she drives off with the two car loads of crap these two poodles brought over here last week. I will begin clean up of all debris from my house: wash 14 loads of laundry, sweep a gallon tub of dirt off my floors and make sure all of the 99 Easter eggs are out of my yard, so they don't ROT. Be warned ALL GRANDMOTHERS OR GRANDMOTHERS TO BE... A full week is a very long time to keep offspring's offspring.....just saying!
Have fun without me!

After sending this email to my artistic friends, one of them told me I should start a Blog about the NEW generation of grandparents. You know who you are, the one with car seats sitting in the backseat of your luxury car, picking up carpool AGAIN and taking that sweaty, cranky, “can we go get an icy?” lamb of Jesus grandchild to one of their many after school activities.
Where were MY PARENTS when my children were small? Let me think- oh yes, THEY were playing golf, bridge, having “mad men” parties in the evening; while by day, lunching, as their homes were being cleaned by THE HELP.
Please don’t judge me from the above email; I was very tiredJ
I simply adore my grandchildren, as does my husband Dale, whom they call Pops.
I am known as Sassy to our three granddaughters. They are known as my poodles. Were any of them boys, they would be my mutts. I use their legal names too, but they like it when I call them Poodle #1, Poodle #2 and Poodle #3. I started using the name Poodle Parlor when talking about my home, since when they arrive- THAT is what it is. Their stuff and the stuff I continue to by them; it becomes their poodle pen, but parlor sounds better to me.
My poodles are the offspring of two beautiful daughters: Garrett and Sara Britton
Garrett has Poodle #1 “Britton”, age 7, and Poodle #2 “Kenley, age 5.
Sara Britton has the youngest of the litter; Poodle #3 “Allie Boone”, as we call her, only four months old. Soon, there will be another poodle (possibly a mutt) when Garrett delivers a new life.
These are our stories; hopefully some of yours too!
Thanks Gayle, who encouraged me to do this. She also suggested that if her name came up anywhere in my writings, I should describe her as very tall, with long skinny legs and a size 6 figure.
You are beautiful, just as you are!
