When my parents sent me official word that they had signed all the paperwork and were closing the living on the lake era of their life, it caused me to think back to my days visiting my grandparents’ homes. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with mine. Like everybody else in the world, I had grandparents. ![]() The fact they happened at the same time made me reflect on my childhood.
