The theme for today’s Flickr post is Grandparents. Since these pictures were taken two years ago, two of my grandparents, Jean and Glen, have passed away.
Jean, Jim, and Marga – Erik’s two maternal grandparents with Marga in May, 2004.
Erik, Marga, Joyce, and Glen – Erik and Marga visit with Erik’s paternal grandparents in May, 2004.
Ramón and Erik – Marga’s maternal grandfather with Erik having a few beers in Extremadura, Spain.
This last picture always makes me smile. I’m never as happy as I am when we are bar hopping in the sweltering Spanish August heat, and I love and respect Marga’s grandfather immensely.
(and not to mention that that’s a superb picture of me)

Happy July Fourth!
