Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Sunday, May 19, 2013. Let's Get This Party Started. Countdown to Baby Charlotte's appearance. No, she's not here yet, but she is fully baked, and her mama would love the opportunity to hold her in her arms at this point. Today? But for everyone else: Do keep mama and soon-to-be daughter in your thoughts and prayers over the next few days and hours. We'll let you know as soon as there's news to tell.

Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal: Dirt, Sticks, Crayons, Bubbles
http://grandmaryb.blogspot.com/2013/05/dirt-sticks-crayons-bubbles.html
Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Saturday, May 18, 2013. Dirt, Sticks, Crayons, Bubbles. Entertaining a three-year-old isn't really that hard, but you'd better have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. If one trick doesn't work - or doesn't work for long- then pull out the next one. Just keep things moving. In the course of one day, we've colored three gigantic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles posters, made a couple of really cool bubble-snake apparatuses. After a day of dirt and sticks and crayon...

Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal: The Grandparent Legacy
http://grandmaryb.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-grandparent-legacy.html
Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Sunday, September 8, 2013. Yes, I get it. It's another made-up Hallmark card holiday. But it comes as a reminder to me about my own grandparents and how different their lives were than mine as a grandparent. I got to watch Grandmother (Frazier) wring a chicken's neck, prepare the bird, and serve up some of the best fried chicken ever - which probably took away any fear I might've had of eating dead animals (long live carnivores! So, yes, Happy Grandparents...

Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal: The Household of God
http://grandmaryb.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-household-of-god.html
Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Sunday, August 11, 2013. The Household of God. Wearing her mother's christening gown and sweet little cap, she took all the excitement in stride. Liam and godfather Mikey brought her banner down the aisle during the procession. Both looked so handsome. Parents and godparents called out "We present Charlotte Currin to receive the sacrament of baptism! So, Charlotte, we receive you into the household of God. Welcome! August 27, 2013 at 12:51 AM.

Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal: They'll Remember
http://grandmaryb.blogspot.com/2014/01/theyll-remember.html
Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Friday, January 17, 2014. Last week, I was having breakfast at a hotel in New Orleans to the strains of 1960s rock and roll. Of course, most of the songs carried with them some kind of childhood memory, but one song in particular took me back to a specific time and place. But you can't let it cramp your style. I mean, if you think too hard about making these memories, I suspect you won't make very good ones. No, it's the spontaneous or repetitive t...

Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal: Jolly Green Hulk
http://grandmaryb.blogspot.com/2013/03/jolly-green-hulk.html
Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Sunday, March 24, 2013. Are the Jolly Green Giant and the Incredible Hulk related? They are Grandboy's mind. He spied the picture of the Green Giant on a package of broccoli and believing it to be the Hulk, got all excited about the superpowers he could acquire by eating Hulk-sponsored veggies.

Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal: Bunnies and Crosses
http://grandmaryb.blogspot.com/2013/03/bunnies-and-crosses.html
Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Easter is a hard thing to explain to a little child. Betrayal. Violent death. Sadness. Resurrection. Difficult stuff for adults to grasp, never mind a 3-year-old. I remember trying to tell the Easter story to my daughter when she was little. After the resurrection part, her eyes got big and she said, "Oooh! Well, yeah, I can see how you'd think that. Hm. That same daughter now wants to explain to GrandBoy what's happening this week.

Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal: Raising a Superhero
http://grandmaryb.blogspot.com/2013/02/raising-superhero.html
Confusions of Grandeur: A Grandmother's Journal. Saturday, February 16, 2013. But to grow up to be a real superhero,whether Captain America or Wonder Woman, Spiderman or Cinderella, there are some powers that translate into the real world. Let's face it, the real superhero and princess traits turn out to be some very basic things. A love for learning. Being a good friend and kind to strangers. Helping the less fortunate. Growing in faith and living into that faith. Developing natural talents and abilities.
