Hello and Welcome to Cricket’s Hearth.
Keeping the home fires burning is not always easy! I am a mid-50’s, single, working grandmother trying to adjust to living a different life in “my golden years” than what I had envisioned. Instead of enjoying the fruits of a long marriage, I have had to start over a couple of times. At this point in my life, I thought I would be enjoying the good life of having the homestead’s mortgage paid off, seeing the cheating husband finally grown up and being faithful, gaining satisfaction from the children’s graitude for all I had sacrificed for them, and delighting in “Hallmark Holidays” with the grandchildren. But that was a dream and this is reality. Not that I have a terrible life, just not the one I had envisioned.
I believe there are many grandparents like me out there in cyberworld. If you relate to any of what I have said, I invite you to come on in and set a spell (my grandmother used to say that to visitors). Sometimes we will laugh and sometimes we will cry, and we will always praise the Lord. Welcome to Cricket’s Hearth!

Greetings from PA!
I happen to come across your Blog and enjoyed reading much of it. My Wife and I live here in Reading. We have 2 Sons and 4 Grandchildren. Alot of the things that were said on this Blog, have happened to me. It seems it’s the same just about all over. My High School day’s were pretty much the same thing with dating and the sex thing. In High School I was half scared to death to try anything with a date, for fear of getting her pregnet. Back in those day’s, as you know, this was a forbidden thing to even try. There were not too many girls that were willing to “go in the back seat.” Just maybe one or two, but they were not really worth it. I didn’t really go for the “sleep around” type.
If you are interested in my Blog you can read or look at it.

I am creating a program for our church’s women’s Christmas banquet and the speaker’s theme is memories from her grandmother. May I use the picture on the brochure? Thanks so much,
