Stories from Gran



Our grandson is enthralled with Star Wars which is interesting because I have been a fan since 1979. I conned my husband into taking his very pregnant wife to see the first Star Wars movie.

At Christmas time, Clayton "covinced" me to tell him creative original stories based on Star Wars. (Is conning hereditary?) Even though the characters have been updated somewhat, I was able to come up with acceptable stories. It was as much fun for me as it was for Clayton. This story telling adventure all started with his Dad speaking over the baby monior in a most accurate Darth Vader voice "Luke, I am your father". Now it is obvious where Clayton gets his love for the whole Star Wars obsession. Both he and Clayton got light sabers for Christmas.

Clayton made me promise to come up with new stories for the next time he came to see us. You might see some of them here on the blog. Below is a picture of our 3+ year old storm trooper.
