I was just talking to my dad the other day about how the "world" wars really weren't that much of the world and many countries were not involved. I wonder how many countries are needed for it to be classed as such.
Our elders can be great examples for us. I love that you have this memory of your grandmother being so hard working and active. One of my more prominent memories of my Grandma are of how active she was into her 80s. An image I often have was her striding along to and from the shops pulling her two wheeled trolley bag behind her. On the way out it would be loaded with old paper and glass bottles and jars for the supermarket recycling bins and on the way back with the foods purchased. She used to garden as well. Thinking of her is a good motivator when I'm feeling lazy. 😆
