About SandwichINK
Who am I? I am a Christian, a mom, a grandma, a widow, a Baby Boomer, a member of the Sandwich Generation, a multi-generational caregiver, a writer, a blogger, a tweeter at Twitter, a bit of a computer geek, a real estate investor, and a bookworm, among about a zillion other things.
I love to surf the mommy blogs to get great ideas for when I am with my grandkids. I research caregiving information on the eldercare sites. I am the computer help desk for my family and friends – both on Mac and PC, subscribe to several computer ezines and LOVE my iPhone! I am a self-proclaimed news junkie and love to learn what's new for all of us in the Sandwich Generation. Due to the economy and the caregiving needs I am involved in, I constantly frequent the frugal sites for creative ways to use money wisely, and I even enjoy a few survival and endtime blogs.
Because I am involved in and enjoy so many different sites, I decided to create a blog that would encompass all of those interests, and more! I am hoping that other kindred spirits might like to join me on this adventure (and trust me, learning how to self-host a blog is a MAJOR adventure!!!!). My goal is to make this site a useful home page, a valuable resource tool, and a great place to encourage fellow Sandwich Generation senior home care givers and grandparents – giving you a terrific "Sandwich Break!"

You can usually spot me by my avatar. I’m enjoying sitting in some autumn leaves (my favorite season!), reading to two of my grandkids

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Thank you for “finding” me. I’m new at blogging, and hope to spend more time reading your stuff. Did you happen to see my post “letting go of your kids” ? I’m happy to find someone who understands what it means to be in the sandwich generation!
God bless,
Jacquelyn
Hi Jacquelyn, Thanks for popping over. I enjoyed reading your empty nest article – http://lifebetweenthebuns.blogspot.com/2009/03/life-transitions-letting-go-of-your.html –
So happy to have met you on Twitter, we share so many things in common! I’m delighted to have featured you and SandwichINK to my readers as a Guest Post!
Thanks Cindi, I enjoyed it as well.
To my readers: I’ll be writing about Cindi and her site, and the article, on Tuesday. But if you’d like a sneak preview, check out http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog/2009/06/06/wahm-baby-boomer-grandma-caregiver-meet-my-friend-kaye-from-sandwichink-guest-post/ 
Hi Kaye,
It’s Carol Marak at Carebuzz. I just wanted you to know that I’ve added your link to our blog.
Thank you, Carol
Hi Carol, Thank you so much! And congrats! I hear you are the host for the September 8, Boomers & Seniors: News You Can Use! Very Cool! I’m looking forward to it!
Kaye, thank you so much for stopping by Threads of Hope blog, and leaving the kind comment. I love when new readers come and sit for awhile.. I hope you felt comfortable reading the post..Please feel free to become a follower if you feel led to do that. I ” journal” there usually every day, sometimes more than once if the Lord gives me thoughts that seem to be what He needs me to post.. I love to write poetry, or ” songs ” of peotry which sometimes a poem comes to my heart musically – even though I am not any kind of musicician. They are music in my heart, though! But, I do have a friend in Washington state who is a musician, and he has put several to music already – that was a highlight for me – as my whole prayer when I began poetry writing, that God will use it to bless others lives, thru song, or written word.. Cool stuff for this Oregon mountain lady to think about!!
Again, thank you so much for stopping by. I dont see a ” follower” button on your site here, but will bookmark you, as I need lots of help both techy wise, and caregiving wise .. My mother and step father are very elderly, and its going to be sooner, than later, that I begin this new role of caregiver as well. Praying for you sister, in all that you do for others..
Karen
Hi Karen, and welcome!
I know the feeling about anticipating the caregiver role, as I have other relatives who I know may need help down the road. It’s always wise to anticipate and start planning before you need to, as you are doing. I do offer a free email newsletter that will keep you up to date on all SandwichINK’s posts, including ideas for planning ahead, preparing for necessities like power of attorney, and, of course, ideas to encourage as well. 
Hi Kaye,
I am the publsher of “One Minute Mysteries: 65 Short Mysteries You Solve with Science!” by Eric and Natalie Yoder. Google Alerts just informed my of your web page. I just wanted to let you know that we are delighted that you discovered — and enjoyed — the book! Thanks so much for mentioning it on your site.
Yu may want to know that the sequel — “One Minute Mysteries: 65 Short Mysteries You Solve with Math!” will be out soon. The Yoders had so much fun with the first one that they decided to keep writing.
Thanks again for including us on your wonderful site!

Hi Dia, Thanks so much for stopping by and you’re very welcome! I had heard about the Math version and am looking forward to checking it out when it comes out.
You know what…i am really glad to “meet” you. I will also RSS feed you so I can keep up…u seem like a busy informed lady! Take care!
Lo
Hi Lois, Thank you
I am definitely BUSY and do my best to stay informed, in between rollicking games of monster tag and kickball! 
Hi Kaye! it was great to have you visit my blog for Word-filled Wednesday. This is a really neat idea and much needed for many people.
I am amazed at just how many are dealing with the pressures of raising children, grandchildren and taking care of elderly parents all at once! Only by the grace of God, (which is sufficient) are they able to pull through with their sanity in tact!
By the way, My family and I use to live in KY and visited Elizabethtown quite often, especially to take our kids to one of the parks there!
Have a blessed evening!
Hi Michelle, How fun! They do have some lovely ones! Thanks for popping in! Are you going to join us for the 2010 Ultimate Blog Party? Love to visit with you for it.
Hello Kaye! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving your nice comment. It seems we have something in common as we are both grandparents. Nice to meet you…stop over again whenever you get a chance.
