    Oh, now you're making me miss both my grandfathers! One was short and a bit round and he loved to talk about his childhood in NH and his years as a cook in the army (I loved looking at the recipes he had). The other was tall, snowy white hair, part Native American, and he loved to go for long walks and long drives...which meant a sure way of spending a lot of quality time together. I'm smiling again as I think about them.[SMILE][HEART]

    My father's father died before I was born--my mother's father was a very quiet man who always slipped his grandchildren (and, if I remember correctly there were 10 of us) a few coins, which he really worked hard for pushing a vegetable cart around the city, every Sunday that we visited.[SMILE]
