We recently took a quick trip over to Idaho to see the Grandparents (Great Grandparents for the children). Grandma Pratt is 94 years young and still going strong living at home, and Grandpa Pratt is 92 years and has just recently had to leave his lifetime home and stay at an assisted living center, where they can take better care of him after he had his stroke.
Family is so important!! And it's so important to listen to the family heritage, legacies, stories, and tales from the older generations. They have so mush to share. We decided to do our best to capture some of the family stories and information before it was lost. The best way we found to do this was to purchase a journal type book that's made for grandparents. We all had a wonderful time listening to Grandma and Grandpa tell stories about when they were younger, and their lives growing up. We wrote it all down to document it for future generations. We figured we might as well get it done before it's too late. I encourage all families to do something similar, because you never know who God's going to call home next. Below are some pictures from the visit. And the fall colors up in the mountains were amazing!
Looking towards the window
The finished library section and my reading nook!
the same window there on the right. We still need to finish the calendar white board on the wall and have an electrician come in and put in a light switch (so we will no longer have a light bulb hanging in the middle of the room).
