Our GD is an only child so we often let her invite a friend when she spends time with us. So often the girls seem in awe - not that we have or do anything fancy - just in awe that we can actually carry on a normal - and dare I say fun - conversation with them, that we enjoy their company. I suspect many children are without grandparents nearby and don't know what to expect.

My grandmother lives in a home like this and she has a day nurse who is assigned to her. Aida is a lovely Filipino woman and as a result of her sweet and loving care, we've befriended her whole family. So, not only do we have a number of "family" dinners of mixed ages, but also of mixed cultures. It's a real treat! Hey friend!

Yes, we are lucky at times to be able to have the young and the "older" ones together at the dinner table and it's always enjoyable. There are so many valuable lessons to be learned from the elderly, if only we take the time to listen (and I'm also referring to the teenagers taking the time to listen to us, they're elders! ) .-= Linda´s last blog ..<a href="http://lindanjake.blogspot.com/2010/02/its-friday.html" rel="nofollow">It's Friday</a> =-.

Our tables have always had two generations (and sometimes 3) and it makes for fascinating dinner conversation. The problem is some don't listen. They are missing so much. Lovely post.

I love visiting with older folks. Throughout the year when we go and visit my husbands grandmother at the nursing home. Well we sit and visit and have such a great time. Sometimes dh has to come and pull me out because he says you talk with everyone and visit its time to go. I love sitting and talking and dishing about foods and the quilts that make and all abotut their children and where they are from. It is so fullfilling just to listen. It brings such a smile to me and them. They are filled with such wisdom. .-= Tina @ Mommy's Kitchen´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2010/02/yummy-super-bowl-foods.html" rel="nofollow">Yummy Super Bowl Food Ideas</a> =-.
