My grandmother was born in 1884 and died in 1983. She always said she lived in the most unbelievable time in history where so much had happened. Even more so for her - growing up tending sheep in the mountains of the old country. Hard to imagine what it must have been like for her to go from a life of wood fires, candles and creek water to airplanes, and rocket ships.

I heard all the old stories from my maternal GPs,
and also got to watch the Moon landing with people
who were born before the Wright Brothers flew.
Amazing days indeed, 21twelve.
