I always wonder what his generation thinks of this crazy world we live in. My Grandpa is my only living grandparent and he spends a good deal of time with my family, whether at family meals, family activities, or holidays. We are always deep into some discussion about some aspect of life, it usually involves technology, tv shows, or other interesting things about our day. Sometimes I wonder if he literally feels like he is in a different world. I always look over at him as he he quietly listens and takes it all in. What is this nearly 85 year old man thinking?Annette and I were having a conversation about youth, standards, our expectations and so forth. Grandpa was in the family room listening to me speak of all my worries for the youth of our day and for my children. After, Annete asked him if it was crazy to hear about all of the mischeif kids now days are getting into. He smiled and said, "No, it sounds alot like someone I know who lived here in Spanish Fork about 70 years ago, and we turned out okay." We all laughed. He has such a funny sense of humor.

Still laughing at that picture! So funny. What a blessing to have a relationship with your grandpa, esp. when he is the only living one. I meant to write you and tell you on Veterans Day how I remember your other Grandpa and how he would always be at school for the assemblies. I thought about him on that day recently.
That is so great. I still have a grandpa and a grandma (different sides). It is just in the last 3 years that I lost the other two. How great is that to be forty and have grandparents? I am so lucky!
It seems like my grandpa who passed away two years ago was a lot your grandpa. I would talk about worries about kids and he would say similar things. I guess kids have always worried their parents and now that they have seen generations come and go they have perspective that it usually does work out.
I am really interested to see what you think about the Twilight book series. I have read all three. I have mixed feelings about it ... so let me know.
Love, Tif
I haven't read any of them yet. Like I said, eveery female in my family has (along with every female in the universe it sounds like). I'll get to them at some point.
Do your grandparents have any secrets they've passed on to you? You are lucky!
