95 years old!
I (Kristen) recently came back from a 6 day trip to see my 95 year old Grandfather. He has lived in Spokane, WA for almost 40 years. His wife, my Step-Grandmother, passed away almost 2 months ago. The trip overall was a good one- I flew out with my parents, my sister and one of my brothers.
I had not seen my Grandparents for about 5 years and I had not visited them in Spokane since 1986. It was difficult not being able to see my Grandmother again before she passed away and more than likely this will be the last time I see my Grandfather. It was fun hearing him talk about his days in the Navy, he was stationed in San Francisco on the battleship West Virginia (which was later sunk at Pearle Harbor- only be brought back up and restored). He also told stories of meeting Grandma, jobs he used to have… For 95 years old his memory is doing very well and he has a great sense of humor. He is even able to get around with a walker by himself for the most part.
It was a great trip, I love the Northwest and the Spokane area- it is such beautiful country. We visited a couple of orchards and a winery. We also traveled to Coeur d’Alene, ID and to my Aunt & Uncle's cabin on Twin Lakes. Unfortunately the cabin is still being remodeled so we weren’t able to stay there. It will be a great place when it’s done though.
You can look at the pics of my trip if you wish.

Somethings not right about this!
