RE: I Wish Everyone Could Have a Grandpa Like Mine

This is super cool. I live in Tennesee and we have so many people in their 80's and 90's that do this very thing. I love seeing the gardens being tilled and the vegetables growing. I think the work is what truly keeps them young.

Oh, how cool! I totally agree. My great-grandma worries about him because he is not as steady as he used to be, but he tells her that the day he quits is the day he dies. I believe that is 100% true.

I agree with your sentiment. The newer generation can learn much from theirs. They understand the concept of physical work and that physical work has paid off in longevity.
