The times spent with Grandma and Grandpa are fondly remembered by many people - initially, because the grandparents always brought "something sweet" and often seemed much more understanding than the parents. However, later on, one often realizes that as a grandchild, one has received much more from them that has left a lasting impression and influenced one's own life. Signa Bodishbaugh - lovingly called "Mimi" by her grandchildren - has consciously embraced this opportunity. Every year, she and her husband set aside a week for their grandchildren, during which the parents are not involved, and which the grandchildren look forward to all year long. The book is an amusing, personal account of 10 weeks in 10 summers that Signa and Conlee Bodishbaugh dedicated entirely to their grandchildren, even in times of electronic media and often significant physical distance between relatives.
