Default My Grandparents...85 years young
I had a chance to spend some time with my grandparents (and a few friends) yesterday. With 10 kids, at least 30 grandkids, and I dont know how many great grandkids, I had only spent one day alone with them in my entire life before yesterday (and that was this past January!).

Full set available here.







me and grandma:

Wow, what lovely portraits! Can't believe they're 85. Hope I look that good when I get to that age. The B&Ws are fabulous, but I also love the color photo of you with grandma - so warm!

Those are some excellent captures. I especially like the folded hands. TFS.
