Family duties
Various family members were down this weekend — including my 80+ year old grandparents — for a visit. All in all a very nice weekend. M. came along for dinner on Saturday night as we dined in a festive Mother’s Day mood.
My grandparents are some of the most amazing people I know. Grandfather was noting how Ford Motor Co. is celebrating it’s 100th birthday. I think he was born in 1921. He talks about technology a lot, and his sense of history is amazing. He’s seen so many different things come to pass in his lifetime. He’s about as interested in the Internet as anyone I know, but I think he’s resigned himself that he may be getting to old to be on top of this one. The screen is hard to see with his eyes. The keys are a little too close together for his fingers. Ah, I guess there comes a day in life when you have to say, “This is as far as I’ll come.” I’m hoping he makes it to his 100th birthday too. I’m just not expecting any email from him — though he does call me on his cell phone. God bless him.
