Have you ever cosigned a loan for anyone?

Would you?

Has anyone ever done such a thing for you?

Both my kids own their own homes, own their own cars and NEVER asked me to cosign anything for them. I sit comfortable with that knowledge and please note whatever I am going to say after that in my Lenten Devotional for the day is the perfect preface.

My grandkids (especially numbers 1–3-) I number them to protect their anonymity and to properly order their appearance in my life. On the other hand, they affectionately call me grandma ATM. I don’t think numbers 4 and 5 quite have the concept of ATMs just yet. However they see me as lady bountiful capable font of all things and a bit silly and weird . They are just excited by the knowledge and disbelief that their parents actually have parents, some one they can call mom and dad and that they have extraordianry powers and can actually tell them what to do and know things.

I want an RV! I have wanted one for a long time. I can’t afford one, I have at least 3 options, maybe four or more.
