Home, family, steadfast footsteps in freshly fallen snow... Such soft, snug comforting calmness we feel as our sense of security and self-esteem grow - with nurturing... and maturing.  Semi-retirement is a far less pressured place along life's journey, with more time to give to those we love... as the focus shifts - from making a living to enjoying a life.  And activities with grandchildren become a priority.

The imprint of a grandpa's consistent, loving influence is summed up, with pride, in " Poppy and Me".
