An Evacuee

Evacuee:  September 1939 -1945 Eight years old and standing on the gently sloping Rye-hills of Lutterworth, overlooking the meandering river Swift lazily belieing its name as it threads its way from the Hall in the far distance on my left, then on and under the railway viaduct on my right.  ...

Waiting for His Return

I had to grieve all over again when I saw my husband back to war for the second time.  This time was different, because he wasn't just my husband anymore.  He was now the father of my child that I was going to be raising alone.   ;But it was MY job to suck it up and get on with life.And life went ...

Written by: Shayne Packer


First and foremost, I am a devoted family man. My wife, Tanda, and I have five awesome children: 3 girls, and 2 boys. They're grown up now. We have eight grandchildren: five boys and three girls. They are each a delight. It is an amazing phenomena that when a person becomes a parent, their life changes for good. And when they become a grandparent... well, it's hard to find the words to express how much love a heart can hold.

I have owned a furniture store. I have been a Macintosh software engineer. I have invested in real estate, including a luxury loft apartment in Historic Downtown Savannah, GA.

Now, I have designed a career doing and talking about what I love best — being a grandparent. I am the founder and creator of The Grandparent Project. The project includes a popular grandparenting blog, GrandparentsTLC.com, which my Tanda and I publish. It is dedicated to showing grandparents fun ways to connect with grandchildren using cool technology.

I am proud to say that I come from a religious pioneer heritage — hard working ancestors who have help settle America.

My life story here is a work in progress. I have kept a journal through much of my life. I will be updating my story, one slice at a time on this worthwhile Story of My Life website.

I invite you to join me in the Grandparents and Technology group hosted on this site.
