But… What to Ask?!

I left you at a tricky spot yesterday, I know. You read the blog post yesterday, and you think, ok… she said to just “ask” but… what to ask?! Well, my trusty team of volunteers came up with a few suggestions for you to get started. My props to Curtis (whom you “met” via his story about Jennie in January!) for opening up the discussion to the team via email this week.

Email us at thebestdaysofar@yahoo.com to let us know how your conversations with your grandparents/ senior buddies go!
