Yup. Love it. It's just them being them. How can you not love that? Looks like they are chatting with me... K. It's official. I need a visit this long weekend. I guess three hours away isn't so bad after all.

Never mind. I'm smarter than I thought. I figured it out. Actually, it's not all that complicated. Maybe I should tried it before letting everyone know how much I don't know about computers. :)

You don't have to be older and wiser to know that I need to sit with my Grandma and eat soup. That's just common sense. We'll see.

Aww, that's the best picture. It's nice to see them just smiling and having a great time. Sometimes when you see Grandpa, it's hard to forget the Parkinson's. But in this picture, it seems that all of that has fallen away, and it's just Grandma and Grandpa. I wish I could hug them right now.

What an awesome picture!!! You do all need to come for a visit. They would be so blessed. I went with Mom & Dad to Taunte Maria's for lunch today. We had borscht and brown bread. It wasn't as good as Mom's but the company was the same. They are such awesome parents. They are looking for an electrical bed and a incline/recline chair for Dad. I've been trying to find some good used ones. We are going to check some out on Wednesday. Dad is really having a hard time of it since he fell a few weeks ago. Mom is having a hard time looking after him too. I don't mean to be a downer, but sometimes it's hard watching them get old.

You're right, Sue. It is hard. You see it much more often so you see the steady decline. When we see them, it can be quite a shock! Often I am in tears while I pray for them. We are truely blessed to have such parents. Thank you Lord for this amazing blessing.

We feel that we can"t be there enough,we see needs there,and we would love to be there to help out.We also see that age taking its toll on both our parents. We pray for them pretty much everyday.We love them so much too and hope to spend time with them this Christmas.
Where have those big family get togethers go? It seems so long ago that we have been all able to see each other for the holidays. We have so many great memories of those good times!!!!!

I don't like it that Grandma and Grandpa are getting old. And it's hard not seeing them for a long time, and then you do... It makes me sad that my kids (if and when I do have them) won't be able to see Grandma and Grandpa, and if they do, it won't be the same. I miss them.

It is hard to see your parents age. It makes it even harder when you are far away.

Yeah me too. I check everyday. Most of the time I'm dissappointed that there is nothing new but when I see that picture of Mom and Dad, I'm almost glad that you haven't posted anything new.
