Grandparents

"I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich."

I ran across this quote today and it made me think of my grandparents. Maybe it's because I had brunch with them only hours before finding this. Anyway, it got me thinking about how lucky I am to have such great grandparents. Seriously. I think they could give anyone a run for their money in the g-rent department. They have got to be the two hardest-working people I know. My grandma will be 80 in a few months and still works full-time as a Realtor. My grandpa retired several years ago, but he still maintains all their rental houses and is in the process of completely re-doing a house they bought. He'll be 81 in October. Whenever I get together with them, I ALWAYS laugh out loud. My personal favorite from today would be when we were saying our goodbyes outside the restaurant and my grandma says, "what are you 24 now? you know, in my day you'd be considered an old maid not being married yet." Yes, my grandma essentially called me an old maid and, yes, I found it hysterical. The other guarantee of hanging out with them is that they ALWAYS find someone they know or have a connection to. It's crazy. They have found people they have connections to in other countries. They're just friendly people. I like to think that's where I get my friendly demeanor from. :)
