What's up, myLot peoples? How's everyone doing? I haven't posted anything new since August but I am more diligent now in making my rounds. I miss 'talking' to people here. Anyway, here's a picture a friend sent me this morning. Don't you think it's adorable? I'm guessing that's the grandfather taking a selfie with his granddaughter. Which reminds me of my own grandparents. Never experienced having a grandmother. They passed away when I was still a baby. But I did have a doting grandfather on my mother's side. He was only 4'11 and his wife was taller than him. His kids are even taller than him. Small but terrible though. He was one of those few people (after WWII) who got a degree despite coming from a poor family. How about you? Do you have a selfie of you and your grandparents? Or of you and your grandchildren?

My grandparents all passed away when I was young, so I only have fading memories of them. Glad to see you back on myLot!

@sol_cee I am doing well! How have you been? Are you still as beautiful as I remember you? I haven't been to Disney World since my birthday in May, but I am planning on visiting again at the end of this month for my daughter's birthday!

I grew up practically with my grandparents in my younger years. I got lots of pictures with them but no selfies like today.

@sol_cee Technically yes since they claim that when I was born my parents left me there since both of them were working they could not be with me 24/7 so I was practically left on their care. Through during weekends I would be at my parents place to bond with them. They have my elder sister too which is the one they were taking care of since she goes to school already when I was born.
