Weekend at Grandma and Rocky's

My grandparents are pretty much the cutest people ever. They square dance. And play tennis, and win, with people 30 years younger than them. And love their Prius. And are frustrated with technology, but adapting heroically. And, like any self-respecting grandparents, they are master keepers of stuff--not only do they keep lots and lots of stuff, they keep it in mint condition.

I went to visit them for the 4th of July, and Gram pulled out this:

This is the dress my great-grandmother wore to my grandparents' wedding! It's 56 years old and counting.

My grandparents are also amazing socialites, so everywhere we went I got introduced to dozens of cute old people who were just tickled to see me all grown up. I think they enjoyed showing me off. Gram even made sure I was outfitted in red-white-and-blue for the festivities:

Sigh. Families are great. I just wish we all lived closer.
