They call us grandparents, but we're the same souls who once raced down the streets with wind in our hair and fire in our hearts.

Life taught these women patience, since it offered no shortcuts. They had to wait for the mail, telephone calls, and information. They repaired rather than bought. They saved money and were frugal.

They remember family dinners, local stores, school affairs, and many hours outdoors.
