  WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT from an eight year olds perspective?       Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own.    They like other people. A grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady!   Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them…    They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run.   It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.   When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.   They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers   and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'   They don't say, 'Hurry up.'   Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.   They wear glasses and funny underwear.   They can take their teeth and gums ou...

  Delinquency rates hit lowest since 2008 The market is continuing its steady recovery, with the delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four-unit residential properties falling to 6.96% in the second quarter, the lowest level since mid-2008, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.   The delinquency rate includes loans that are at least one payment past due; however, it does not include loans in the process of foreclosure.   Also reaching the lowest level since the first quarter of 2007, the percentage of loans on which foreclosure actions were started during the second quarter decreased to 0.64% from 0.70%.   Meanwhile, the serious delinquency rate, which includes loans that are 90+ days past due, sank to 5.8%, a drop of 51 basis points from the first quarter.   For Complete Story...
