I am so blessed to have wonderful grandkids, though they aren't really "kids" any longer.
Amanda, our next to the oldest, asked if she could come over and visit yesterday. Her school is on Easter break and she was happy to have a rest from lesson plans, dealing with her students and just being in the school routine. She has a class of 30 lively 6th graders.
Of course we were thrilled to have her come. She volunteered to help us with some computer issues.. Yay for the younger generation!
We had been trying to begin our application for the REAL ID . Everytime we got to a certain place in the app. The computer said Error and we couldn't go any further.
Amanda to the Rescue ...
It wasn't difficult but it took both of us to get it done... Now all we have to do is go into the DMV and show everything that we downloaded and hopefully we get new licenses soon. What a pain but it has to be done.
Lunch and lots of visiting. Dave and Amanda went to our "Store" ie. All of our Treasures in the garage, and she found gobs of things to use for a wedding shower she is hosting in a few weeks. Papa to the rescue... when in doubt and can't find things ... always ask us first! It amazing what can be found. It so reminds me of Dave's Mom. When we needed something we would go to her first. 9 times out of 10 something would be just what we could use.. I guess the genes run deep ..😀
Amanda and Billy's 3rd wedding anniversary is coming up next month. I thought I would leave you with her wedding photo. Isn't she beautiful, both inside and out?
Thanks for letting me be a proud Grandma and sharing in our blessings.
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind

Yes, your granddaughter is a true beauty, and you have every right to be proud of them.
I need to get that real ID as well. I've always just used my military dependent card to get onto bases, etc., and it used to act as a solid ID, but now, they want the Real ID, and I admit to dragging my feet a bit. Thanks for the reminder.
OH my! She is gorgeous! And I can tell she's beautiful inside and out! She just glows!!! And how wonderful that she wanted to spend some time with you both. I can imagine that was really sweet and special in every way...You are blessed to have her near. I'm not sure what the "real ID" is all about. I thought we already did that a few years ago with our driver's licenses here in Florida. Is this just something new to California? I thought it was a national thing a few years ago. Or maybe this is new, but we haven't heard anything about it here. I don't know. I may have to check into it...but I really thought we already did it. ?? Hmmm... Oh well, "I'll worry about that tomorrow." (Scarlett O'Hara, Gone With The Wind)
Okay, yes, we already have our "Real ID" here in Florida. We started doing that back in 2010 in Florida. I'm surprised California is so far behind! Whew! I'm glad I don't have worry about that tomorrow after all! LOL.
Yes, she's beautiful and I can tell she's a blessing to you and many others!
She is so gorgeous. I remember seeing her in times past and being struck by her sweet beauty. We did not get the Real I.D. because we never travel and don't want to either.
Oh my yes!! Sing your praises. She is so lovely and what a treat to spend time with adult grandchildren. We really need those young minds to help us with computer issues don't we.
I don't know if REAL ID is like LOGIN GOV, but we were ready to pull our hair out while trying to set that up. Your girl is absolutely stunning; what a blessing she is to you and Dave. Go right ahead and brag!
So very sweet...Amanda is a beautiful young lady. I know she was a huge blessing in helping you get those REAL ID's. It sure helps when you know what you are doing on these computers. The younger generation knows them well. Glad you she able to find (and you all were able to provide) some of the things she needed to host the shower. This is what grandparenting is all about.
Very pretty young lady
Your granddaughter sounds like a real treasure. My daughter's name is also Amanda. Your Amanda was a beautiful bride.
Time with grandchildren is the best…such a blessing! Three years has flown!
Glad Amanda was able to help you. I still need my Real ID. I did however recently renew my passport in case I had trouble traveling. I need my husband to help me, he got his last year. Glad she found some items in the garage to use for a wedding shower. Yes, she looks beautiful.
Amanda looks so beautiful! What a wonderful thing...grandchildren...
hugs
