My paternal grandfather, my last living grandparent, turned 90 Wednesday. My family all gathered for the occasion last week at a state lake resort in Kentucky (Land Between the Lakes). Grandpa's wife, Rose, had us all submit questions, and he answered them. My kids have really enjoyed the booklet she put together. I read part of it to them at bedtime and we learned a lot we didn't already know. They've enjoyed picturing "Grandpa Charlie" as a young person. He was telling my seven-year-old son about having to work in onion fields all day when he was that age. He had a tough childhood and worked hard his entire life, and turned out to be the sweetest person I know. Enjoy your grandparents and great-grandparents if you are still blessed enough to have them!
By the way, if you are looking for a great family vacation spot for future summers or school breaks, Kentucky Lake was great. It's beautiful country with lots to see and do.
