    What is the one thing that has shaped your life more than any other aspect? Today I was able to interview both Gary and Caroline Wardle who are my Grandparents.

    Grandparents as Parents In the US, grandparenthood, on average, starts at fifty years old for women and at fifty-two years old for men.

Most people do not think they will have to become the primary caregiver of their grandchildren, but sometimes this is exactly…

    The society that was the 1940s and 1950s in the United States was an entirely different world than modern day. From the way children were raised to politics and the state of the economy, the differences became more apparent as I interviewed two of my grandparents. The insights I gained from my knowledgeable grandparents allowed me to view the society we are currently living in with a much different, refined point of view.

    a purely Caucasian family, I have always felt that my ancestors pretty much lived the same life style as each other. However, in times when I have had a chance to speak with my Grandparents now as an adult I see that all though they may have all been chasing the American Dream, their culture and background caused them to each have very different lives here in America. On my Dads side of the family we have not been able to trace back specifically the originating country of our ancestors however…

    Living like My Grandparents. Growing up, I was able to stay with my grandparents, Mammie and Daddy James, during the summer. I loved it, but I had wished they would get more modern, and stop farming. My Daddy James would get up at daybreak to feed and water the chickens, cows, and horses.

Then in the evening we would spend hours either canning, pickling,…

At the time, Bordeaux was a prospering town and this really was the ‘Golden Age’ for the town. Many people travelled to Bordeaux to see the beautiful buildings but for the French magical community times were very hard. Europe was in the middle of some pretty nasty ‘witch hunting’.

    Like so many children I grew up hearing stories of the past from my grandparents, at the time little did I know how the events that occurred in a small brick building had greatly affected my life. The story starts with my grandparents in the early eighties. My grandfather, in his fifties, realized he wanted more for his family than what driving a Pepsi truck could provide while having a late midlife crisis. He was confident and determined he could do more with his life (a combination that would…
