Why "Peepaw's Ponderings"? I am the grandfather of two (Jamie Lynne and Kate Louise) and three-quarters (Lucy Elizabeth) granddaughters, three-quarters because the newest granddaughter (Kate's little sister) is due November 4. The important thing, and possibly the most important, about being a grandparent is "the Name," i.e., your official title, Grandpa, Granddad, or whatever. The process is similar the "naming" of a fighter pilot, you do not have a choice in the matter, it's controlled by parents of you first grandchild. Thus, I became "Peepaw" and my wife became "Meemaw" probably because it would be easier to say (and doesn't sound quite as old) and the other set of grandparents received the "G-word" name.
This is my official Peepaw stamp personally carved by our son and given to me on my birthday this year. It is used to sign the letters I write to Jamie and Kate.

After reading several blogs my friends write, I decided I could do that and have jumped into the fray. Entries will happen when the muse taps me on the shoulder and suggests it is time to tap on the keys and add random ponderings.
Now it's time for Peepaw to hit the sack.
Sweet dreams y'all
