Neal and I are approaching our 40th year of marriage. We have two kids who have given us the best grandkids anyone could hope for. Susie (our oldest) is married with 2 beautiful children. David has two gorgeous girls. We feel lucky to get to see our grandchildren often and be a large part of their lives.
Neal continues to be a Professor at SLCC and I am now the Grandma Daycare for my grandkids when my children are at work.
A few nights back Rob and Susie invited us to go to Gardner Village to see the great Halloween decorations. We had a lot of fun walking around, looking at the children (and adults) dressed up, and being with our daughter and her family.
