Granny's Kindergartener

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5490) • United States 30 Aug 22

I got to pick up my grandaughter from kindergarten for the first time today. She walked out and her little face was priceless when she saw Granny and Grandpa driving up in the truck to get her. I will never forget that moment.

Potioid Addict

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5490) • United States 16 May 19

No it's not a misspelling. My husband has to have his Golden Flake Sweet Heat BBQ potato chips every day if possible, even though he knows they're not good for him. I think many junk foods are just as addictive as cigarettes. Your...
