I’m not even “my” grandmother…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>

My grandparents 50th anniversary<\/p><\/div>\n

My Grandma is in the middle of the picture above and she is basically the same age as I am right now. Seriously…I know times have changed but I can’t believe looking at this picture that she is the same age as me.<\/p>\n

Are we, the\u00a0Baby Boomers really looking and acting younger than our grandparents or is it just our imagination? Why did they seem so old back then? And why do we seem so much younger now? When I was growing up I can’t remember my grandparents, any of them, ever running and playing ball with us or hiking up a mountain in the summer heat. They did things with us but it was things like baking and reading and watching tv. I do remember Grandpa G telling some awesome stories about his days on the railroad. And I remember my Grandpa F taking me on some very long walks down to the park in their neighborhood.<\/p>\n

As for\u00a0they way they dressed or acted I can’t imagine what\u00a0they would say if they could see us now. They acted “old”. When we visited with them and they were talking to my parents or other adults I couldn’t relate\u00a0to anything\u00a0they were talking about. Most of the time if we were even in the room during these conversations we were told to leave, that they were having an adult conversation, and for us to go play with the other kids. My grandchildren\u00a0and I do lots of fun things when we are together and we have some great conversations on\u00a0all kinds of topics, even politics. During one of these conversations they\u00a0told me, “you sure don’t act or look like a grandma.” I’m hoping that is a compliment. You never know with them, but I’m going to take it as one.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>

me…same age as Grandma above<\/p><\/div>\n

What’s changed? What’s different these days? Why did they seem so old and we look so much younger? \u00a0I think we take better care of ourselves now. We exercise. I never saw my grandparents exercise…ever. My oldest grandson and I have plank tournaments…who can hold one the longest. I beat him. The last time I asked if he wanted to have one he said no. When I asked him why he said because you will just beat me again. I am up to a two and a half minute plank. Could you see your grandparents doing a plank? I sure can’t.<\/p>\n

Fashion has\u00a0certainly changed along with the years. These days there are no rules about what you can or can’t wear as a “grandparent”. Thank goodness! My Grandma always wore a dress…always. And usually she had an apron on over it. She was almost always in the kitchen whipping up something wonderful for us kids to eat. My Dad’s mom did if I recall wear a pants suit now and then. I know I was shocked to see this and I’m sure it shocked her friends and neighbors. I remember when she moved to Florida I actually saw her in shorts. Unheard of in those days…she was such a trendsetter.<\/p>\n

“Love is the\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>greatest gift one generation can leave another.” ~ Richard Garnett<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I often wonder when I look at their photos if I styled my hair the way they did, let it go grey( it may or may not be grey since I haven’t seen my real hair color in years) and wore the same dress if maybe I would look that way too. However it wouldn’t change who\u00a0I am. I would still be the Grammie hiking up the trails and running around playing ball and jumping on the trampoline with my grands. I can’t even imagine seeing either of my grandmas jumping on a trampoline…just the thought of Grandma in her dress and oh, yes, her nylons — rolled at the knee–and the big thick shoes, which she never took off(I actually thought she wore them to bed) jumping on the trampoline cracks me up.<\/p>\n

We are a different generation of grandparent. We are on Facebook and Instagram. We Tweet and Stumble and Tumble. We have lots of interests and hobbies. I have a blog. My grandson told me he was\u00a0proud of me for\u00a0starting this\u00a0blog. It truly warmed my heart to have him say that to me. And that is one thing that doesn’t change from one\u00a0generation to the next. We want our grandchildren to be proud of us. We want them to remember us when we aren’t here anymore. It doesn’t matter what we look like or how we dress, what matters is what they have learned from us, the times we shared and how they felt when we were together.<\/p>\n

What do you remember about your grandparents? What do you hope your grandchildren will remember about you?<\/p>\n
