I've been trying to make a habit of posting often, but well... let's just say I failed.

Anyways, here's post #2:

My grandparents left for Portugal about a week ago, and I'm missing them a lot. Prior to their departure I started a small video project. I interviewed my grandparents about stories from their lives. I've been wanting to compile a series of interviews of all my family members so that I can edit them into some kind of a family feature film.

This was spurned on somewhat by the passing of my paternal grandfather. Unfortunately, I hadn't gotten to know him too well, and I don't want to lose any more stories to time.

Here's hoping I write another post soon. Oh and I decided to leave the suspenders in the original box, but just because I haven't had an occasion for wearing them!

Toodles,

Old Suspenders

And so I decided to start a blog...

Today I received a gift from my grandparents. It was technically 2 gifts, but who's counting. Today I received my great grandfather's suspenders. I've never really used suspenders before, but now I have an urge to put them to use.

While I never had the chance of knowing him, I have heard many stories, both good and unflattering. And I'm still trying to make heads or tails of why it's important to me.
