About Me

I started this blog to talk with other modern grandmothers about how you enjoy your grandchildren -- what you do with them, how you feel about being a grandmother, and questions you have. My book, "Super Granny: Great stuff to Do with Your Grandkids" includes loads of activities that modern grandmas do with our grandchildren. Please email me at: WendkosOlds@alumni.upenn.edu. As a professional writer, I’ve written 11 books and more than 200 articles about child development, family life, human relationships, health, and travel. If you want to know more about me, go to my website: www.sallywendkosolds.com (designed by my daughter as a birthday present for me). You'll see that I have many interests: I regularly present slide programs about Nepal and other foreign countries. As an oral historian, I have conducted video and audio interviews for several major projects. I’m an avid reader and a people-person. Some of my favorite people are my five grandchildren. I would love to hear about your favorite activities with your grandkids, and especially what you do with them that grandmothers of an earlier generation did not.

Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked.

I do wear a scarf sometimes, especially the beautiful new red velveteen one with black fringe that my daughter Nancy gave me for the holidays!
