“Grandma’s Still Got It & God is Rockin’ Her World!”
Join Grandmas of all ages for a one night retreat with Glenna Salsbury.
Grandmas are youthful, vibrant and eager to pass on a legacy of faith and love to their grandchildren. This time is all about connecting, comparing stories, gathering ideas and coming to the Lord for biblical wisdom. It’s also a time for rest, relaxation and fun!
Grandparenting is not what it used to be—it’s better. It’s hands-on, up close and personal, fast paced, vitamin fortified, and fun! According to the AARP, the average grandmother is a mere forty-seven and they are doing more with and for their grandchildren than ever before. Grandmothers of today are a new breed. You’ll find them gliding along on roller blades, working out at the gym, running behind a Baby Jogger, and managing Fortune 500 companies. The only time you’ll find them in a rocking chair is when they’re reading to their grandchild or lacing up their athletic shoes.
It is for these women and countless other kindred spirits that we are offering the Sandy Cove “Grandma’s Off Her Rocker Getaway.” If you are a grandmother or great-grandmother seeking a better relationship with your grandchild, this conference is for you. If you are a mother who wants her child to feel that one-of-a-kind bond with her grandmother, why not offer this conference as a gift to Grandma…or come together! Someday you may be fortunate enough to be a Grandma too! This getaway will encourage you, help you, and include times of relaxation, laughter and learning. If you want to leave a Godly legacy to your grandchildren come to Sandy Cove to connect with other Grandmas who are off their rocker and loving it!
Glenna Salsbury is a grandma who rocks!
Her six grandchildren, ages 10 to 20, call her Gigi, short for Grandma Glenna. As a “grandma” who has an active career, she has learned to balance speaking, writing and traveling with quality moments with these four boys and two girls.
As one whose world God continues to rock, Glenna will share the lessons she has learned (and continues to learn) about maintaining great relationships with these six young people who are so important in her life!

Our newest CD release, “Life is Precious,” reflects our journey in our walk with Christ. Remembering that every gift we have comes from Him and that He gives and takes away, we place our confidence in Him to help us live a life of victory. Our goal is to walk closely to Him and listen to his voice through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. We know that we can depend on His Word and we rejoice in His faithfulness to us. As we walk by faith in Christ Jesus, our prayer is that others will see our praise and trust in Him (Psalm 40:1-3).
