Isn't it Great to see how GRAND
FATHER shows us that he has never really Grown up because he enjoys playing on the see-saw with his three Grandsons, Grant, Graham and Gregory.

GRANDFATHERS are special people who can teach lifes lessons to their Grandsons through the wisdom and experience they have Gained over the years.
*
*
Demonstrating how to fish, building a bird house and learning reading, writing and arithmetic are what GRANDFATHERS teach their Grandchildren.
*
But the Games that GRANDFATHERS play with their Grandsons are the best memories that any young boy could ever have or need when Growing up.

As George Bernard Shaw said, "We don't stop playing because we Grow old; we Grow old because we stop playing."

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.

Always remember: Growing older is mandatory; Growing up is optional.

Oh! Do I get to be first? Love this post - and love all your teddies! Come and see my post about geneology and my mother named Gretchen. :D
Love Mark Twain's saying. I definitely agree with it, if you don't mind it doesn't matter.
Terrific G post. Wish I had known my Grandparents better. They lived in MN. and we lived in CA. They really had little influence on my life.
Grand G collection!
G is for Ganpati Bappa Morya! To find out what it means click here
This post will be popular with all Grandfathers! Very nice of you.
Great post for Grandfathers. I do love your teddy bears and you certainly captured the ABC Wednesday theme for G.
Dear Bear ~~ Great to see you posting again and I have enjoyed catching up
with your delightful posts and bears
I have quite a lot also.
Thank you for your comments and nice words on my blog. Glad you enjoy the jokes. Take care, Love, Merle.
A wonderful post. My grandfather was quite a serious man, my nana however wasn't. Memories are a wonderful treasure.
Thanks so much.

Hi there!
Sorry, I haven't commented before. I did pop over & read your F is for friendship post - it was very true. TY for your support.
I never knew either of my Grandfathers.
And, I've certainly grown older but not UP!
Love

Evidently, the moral of this is -- one grandfather bear weighs way more than three little bears...
Goodness gracious this was great.
I'd agree with those sentiments!
I am so looking forward to being a grandma ... but no sign yet.
That was fun!
Being a grandma is the best (unless you talk to my husband who thinks being a grandpa is best!)
Never thought of Grandfather and here I am, newly endowed, as it were.
I am not premitted by my son to show my grandchild on line, so I never thought of it.
A nice sentiment for G.
This is a nice post, my husband and our grandson are very close. Thank you for the email, my new post is done.
I am a grandfather with grandchildren miles away. That´s ok.
as long as you have mac and iChat
what a sweet G!
:-Daryl
Oh, he is lovely, and so lucky to have so many nice grandchildren..
another great ABC.
G.B.Shaw was right! Good post.
Amen to that! Love these posts -
Great set of great quotes!
lovely teddy bear as usual!

Very nice choice for "G" I have a few of these bears......
Mine is here.
being a single man of 71years, I can attent to the fact one doesn't have to be just a grandfather to enjoy the positiveness of small children, I have many years of fond memories assisting my nieces and nephews in growing into the adults they are today---teaching my Grand Niece how to play chess is just one of them.
Grandfathers are great, I love this one.
lovely G post!
Such a grand name for a grand person.
Yippee for Grandfathers. This is a great figurine...
Such sweet little bears, and I agree - Grandfathers are GREAT! Thanks for visiting my site and for your comments. Happy ABC Wednesday.
Hi, Bear
I like to be here in this space and read these things so special. Thanks for sharing.
hugs, Denise
I have wonderful memories of my Grandparents. Like your philosophy about growing up.
I just loved this post with the many quotes about aging that I will keep close to me. Ah, grandfathers. My daughters didn't get to know theirs for long and that seems unfair but isn't that life? Always a pleasure to visit you.
Happy ABC Wed.!
Very good for G..I love visiting to see the photos of the bears..I should put up a photo of some of mine....
I love the way you have bears for every possible occasion! This one is an absolute delight!
This is just adorable.
Bear - I answered your question under your comment on my blog.
Guess we were two great minds thinking similar thoughts. Glad you liked my G list. Thanks for the comments. I guess I got the hang of it this go round.
Grandfather Bear looks like he is having a lot of fun! Love all the quotes about aging--so true.
Just saw Teacher Bear on yesterday's post; she would be very welcome at my house:)
Guess I'll never grow up!LOL!!
Great quote and maybe now I need to start doing some kid like things every so often.
Thanks for stopping in and the coffee is always on.
Those are just a little too cute.
We are having a Teddy Bear Picnic this weekend
Hmmmm Maybe I'll find a Hairy one
and post about it next week.
lol
I think Grandma time is pretty cool, too!
And re: your comment. cheese, too? LOL
Great post for the letter G! Love your bears. Mine's up as well.
getting happier is also optional, interesting post!
Couldn't agree more with Mark Twain! Agin is on our minds more than in our bodies... Oh I'm very luck to have great memories about my grandparents, from my mom' side - I didn't have the chance of meeting my dad's sides'. They were lovely to me and I hope they're havingfun in the other world now.
Sweet post! Thank you for your lovely words on my G post! :o)
Kisses from Nydia.
Bear Lover here....! And Grandfathers, wow, Mine was called Grandpap. I owe my life to him and Grandma!
Thank you for this moment to mention them.
Amen. Love this. I should have thought about my grandparents. Grrr..
That is adorable! Perfect quote to go with it!
wonderful in every way sandy
Love the quotes, thank you :-)
My Boyd's Bear grandfather is reading to his grandson. Priceless!
