They never asked whether it was 'for' us, they just said you're going and we're paying for it. LOL I'm more grateful for all those life lessons they taught me. :)Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-86082354494743282932016-09-22T19:01:12.440-04:002016-09-22T19:01:12.440-04:00It is so much harder to make a go of it today with...It is so much harder to make a go of it today without a college education than it was a few generations ago.

But I do place more value on the life lessons I learned from my grand parents' example. :) Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-75106111093207095012016-09-22T08:46:21.989-04:002016-09-22T08:46:21.989-04:00I am always reminding the lovelies that their grea...I am always reminding the lovelies that their great grandparents had more than a formal education. They possessed wisdom. Something that is sorely lacking these days. Thank you!

But, I also realize that there is more to my education than what I learned in school. For me, many of my experiences and people in my live have given me an education I could not have obtained in school. <br />Thanks for linking up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178785542969579479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-8628201317558046172016-09-20T20:53:08.105-04:002016-09-20T20:53:08.105-04:00A lovely legacy behind you and sure to continue ah...A lovely legacy behind you and sure to continue ahead of you!
