Your comment about "...Hi Becky ~<BR/>What a great find! Your comment about "...a lot of things we don't know about our grandparents during the years we're able to be with them" is just so true. I guess it's just that, at least for me, I never could think of my grandparents as young people. I know I have pictures of them, but still, I always think of them as just "Grandma and Grandpa". It's great that you have something that gives you a real glimpse into that younger lifetime.Diana Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05954839264299339937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-15592508637240567712009-01-28T15:41:00.000-07:002009-01-28T15:41:00.000-07:00What a great find,I bet you did a cartwheel when y...What a great find,I bet you did a cartwheel when you saw it.

I am learning that this is truly "our" responsibility as grandparents. We are the connection to both the past, and the future for our grandchildren...<BR/><BR/>"There are a lot of things we don't know about our grandparents during the years we're able to be with them, aren't there!"<BR/><BR/>This last statement that you made, really caught my attention. This is all too common of a situation. I want to change that with my own grandchildren. I want them to know me, and I want them to know where they come from, who they are - and how this affects their lives and futures.<BR/><BR/>I love your blog, and what you are doing to make these connections, so real.<BR/><BR/>tDMg<BR/>Kathryn SkaggsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
