What comes to mind when you think of your grandparents? Only ever knew one grandmother (my father's parents both died when he was a kid and I don't even know who was my mother's father) and she died when I was 16. She used to play 500 rummy with me when my parents went out and she stayed with us on the weekend. She liked to watch wrestling on TV with one of her female neighbors, Lawrence Welk's show and Perry Mason. She was a licensed practical nurse who cooked kosher for her patients and she brought some of that food home. She also liked to read. I liked it when she came to visit.

What comes to mind when you think of your grandparents? - Fathers side, mean but maybe not as mean as he was.

Thanks, PegE!
