You have helped Phinnaes become a learner. Now that's a gift.<br /><br />And the best knowledge of all.jennifer blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162940461142708018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-87700391536548870332011-08-28T21:58:45.098-07:002011-08-28T21:58:45.098-07:00we should all have such a wonderful, supportive, i...we should all have such a wonderful, supportive, involved Oma such as you.

I certainly hope that I am vastly different than I was in my teens:) But of course the core of me is the same, and I'm sure it will be for Phinnaeus and Marigold. I think a love of knowledge, of learning, can be innate or absorbed by osmosis. I imagine you've spent enough time with them both that they will continue to learn, even if it is in between facebook chats.Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-13676169608822597452011-08-28T17:39:34.752-07:002011-08-28T17:39:34.752-07:00I think we often boil school down to grades and th...I think we often boil school down to grades and the idea of where good marks will take us. But education is so much more than a simple means to an end, it sounds like you have shared this wisdom with your grandkids.
