Editor’s Note
C
ooler nights and a touch of color are coming our way. September
starts with a farewell to summer and brings a bit of that laid back fall
feeling to the WG.
September has always been special to me. Maybe because it is the month
of my birth, or maybe because it has always felt as the real threshold of the
year. It ties in all that has been accomplished with all that needs to be done.
It is a very busy month, even with it’s laid back splendor.
In looking back at Septembers past, I see we have talked about the Fabulous
50’s and the graceful aging of America. This issue, however is dedicated
to celebrating the wonders of grandparenting. As a mother of seven and
Gamma to eight (no, Eight is not enough) beautiful grandbabies, I can’t say
[email protected] it enough… If I had known how Amazing grandchildren are, I would have
Publisher / Editor-in-Chief had them first!

Rhodes captured their essence flawlessly! These amazing kids are so full
of hope and promise. We must nurture, teach, elevate and inspire them for
they are our future….
The month of my birth is shared by many others in the WG. I would be
remiss to not wish all of us a Happy and Prosperous Birthday!
