Joe

I have a grand-nephew, Joe, whom I must write about! He’s 10 years old, a good student, not interested in sports but musically talented. Oh yes, he’s also a good looking kid! Joe was staying with Drougy, his grandma, for the weekend. Her birthday also came on that weekend. No problem...he’d take her out for her birthday dinner! When he arrived at her condo, he brought nice clothes for the occasion; extra money from his mom, my niece, Christine; and instructions to mind his manners! This was a real treat for Lorraine because Joe took care of everything! He made the reservations, seated Lorraine at their table, ordered their food, paid the bill, and left the tip! All she had to do was drive the car! Joe and the waitress even sang Happy Birthday to her! When Lorraine was telling me about it she said only once he looked at her and said he just might need some help...figuring the amount of the tip was tough...but suddenly he looked up with a grin and announced he had it! What a special evening for both of them! Lord, thank you for good times with grandchildren. Thank you for grandchildren! And thank you for grand-nephews, sisters, and nieces! Thank you for family! As Joe grows up, help him to know that You are real and that he is very special to You.

That is very sweet about Joe. What a good mother he must have to be able to do that for
his grandmother at only ten years old. He should make some woman a good husband when he
gets to that age. WK

Anita, thank you for writing about Joe. He is a wonderful boy. (well
once in a while I get a little
upset with him). But, that's okay.
I'm sure he gets upset with me once
in a while too. Your favorite and
only older sister.
