When many of you picture a grandmother you may still envision a gray-headed matronly woman with a bun and support hose, poised in the kitchen baking cookies or patiently knitting in a rocking chair.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Kay is in tune with Grandmothers in many different situations. She tells a story in a humorous and interesting way, and she draws a lesson from life that every grandmother could learn from. What part did I like best? The story about the green-haired young man on the airplane to Des Moines. Why? Because I was on the ground waiting for Kay's plane to land! Then I got to hear Kay's stories first hand! And why do I say she's a newly discovered Grandma? She became a grandmother by marrying a grandfather, and she didn't realize she had "Grandma" credentials for awhile!
Quiet Moments for Grandmothers

I was inspired by this book by Kay Marshall Strom. She speaks movingly of the joys and privileges of being a grandmother and the unique, forever relationships we have with our grandchildren. There are also some practical ideas for fun ways to create memories and special times. I especially loved the devotion, "Only Child", dealing with how to make each child feel special as if he or she were the only child in the family. I will be purchasing copies of this book for my friends who are grandmothers or who are anticipating this wonderful blessing.
Inspiring and yet practical

Kay had so many helpful suggestions on how to improve relationships that I will definitely recommend this book to other women my age. Kay has a beautiful writing style in as much as her stories were her own personal experiences and she shares them with the reader as if the reader was a friend. I enjoyed the book immensely. At times of separation from my grandchildren I will remember to write them. I will learn new songs to sing and buy more children's books to read. I am reminded to go to the Lord when my attitude is not right. I will be more forgiving and give gifts to my five grandchildren, all because of this book.
