Last weekend my brother, my sister, and one of our cousins and I all drove out to my aunt and uncle's house in Cohasset, where our grandpa lives. We were all there for two nights specifically to spend time with him. We nicknamed the weekend "Camp Grandpa." He's 92 years old now, and still such a funny, sweet guy. The weekend was so nice -- full of stories, his favorite movie (Planes, Tranes & Automobiles), lots of home cooking, and plenty of time with my siblings and cousins. Oh yes, and this. I sure do feel lucky sometimes.
