Grandparents

I have been so blessed during my life to grow up knowing and loving my grandparents. Both my mother's parents and my father's parents were alive and vivacious throughout my life. I lost my dad's dad when I was 24 and my mom's mom when I was 25. I was fortunate this weekend to spend time with my living grandparents. They live such different lives and I was so blessed with the "best of both worlds". My grandmama Brantley lives in s small town (seriously the smallest town I have ever visited) called Kite, GA. We spend most of our time hanging out on the farm, fishing, playing with my uncle's horses, and playing card games with my grandma. Growing up we called them our "Truck Grandparents" because we always rode around in the old pickup trucks. My granddaddy Williams lives in Savannah. We always referred to them as "Golf cart Grandparents" because they lived in a beautiful development, the Landings, on the golf course and we would ride around the Landings in the golf cart. My granddad sold his house when my grandmother had a stroke and was living in a full care nursing home. My grandfather moved into the independent living section of the facility my grandmother was in. I can tell he misses the Landings and he kept saying he wished he still had his old house. Here are some pictures from the weekend...oh, did I mention my granddad is 95 and still drives, is incredibly smart (he reads books I can't even pronounce), walks around independently, and is just amazing!! I hope I inherited his genes!
