...Stumbled upon your blog and happy that I did! :)<br /><br />Your grandmother was very pretty and I agree, your grandfather was also quite attractive. I think it is so sweet and romantic that their passionate love letters still exist in the family today. You are lucky to have such a treasure!<br /><br />Seeing old photos of my grandmother and hearing her stories as well is sometimes a bit of a jolt. You're right, it is a memorable moment when you first realize your grandmother was once a girl just like you! :)Jennifer Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521908385026885699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-59054982451132314062011-08-28T12:38:13.901-04:002011-08-28T12:38:13.901-04:00What a lovely post.

I am making friends with a few of the grannies at the school gates just now, and that too makes me realise that older people are just younger people who have lived a bit more. I used to see them as sexless, uninteresting bores (when I was a kid - isn't that terrible?) but now I love spending time with them.Mwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-31042583775898469532011-08-20T07:25:00.750-04:002011-08-20T07:25:00.750-04:00That's so lovely.
