Indeed, they kept their back to me the whole time and chatted with their friends. I wondered if i was invisible or something? Strange. Thanks for showing the other view of inter-generational get-togethers.

And the enjoyment this group of elderly residents got from gathering together to share old memories is priceless. What we can gain from engaging with the elders in our community can't be learned anywhere else sometimes. I know that the things i learned from my grandmother about her generation and our ancestry. When she left us i immediately grasped at the conversations we had that were unique to us alone. Priceless.

I also applaud your grandparents for instilling such an important lesson in you! Very wise!
