visit my grandparents

And I miss them terribly. While we may be apart geograpgically, we stay close through letters (the old fashioned snail-mail kind) and through the occassional phone call. They have been my rock through my entire life, especially when I lost my dad (their son) to cancer.

Hubby and I are planning a trip for late this fall. We are hoping that we will be able to spend Thanksgiving with them. As long as we keep working on paying off the credit cards and stay out of the damn casinos, it will happen!

currently packing my suitcases…next time I come here this will be completed

I bought my plane ticket for spring break week. This has to be a good thing. I’ll have 4 days, to see a dozen family members, hopefully it’ll all work.

They only live 2 hours away.

I want to visit my grandparents more and show them how much i care about them! Theyve always been there for me.

Each time I go visit my grandparents, it keeps on getting more fun. My grandparents are quite mature and knowledgeable, which makes them capable of having very intellectual conversations. I was able to talk to them about anything from politics to personal life. They have dealt with a lot in life and described their good and bad experiences with humor.

My grandparents also are the type that know most people in their town and where all the hotspots are. I went and saw two Shakespeare plays at their recommendation and half of the dinners we ate were at fancy restaurants. On a few other days we hung out with some of their friends which was a bunch of fun.

I miss them so much. We just came back yesterday from Minnesota. I visited my other Grandparents who live in Chicago. Everyone met Elias and we got him baptized.

I am going back in April with the baby.

I haven’t seen them since they moved to Florida (2.5 years?) but I should be down there next January.

we’d stay with one set of the grandparents or the other.

I go visit my grandparents every six months. I love the little sign that my grandma has in her kitchen: “I love cooking with wine . . . sometimes I even put it in the food!”
