1. Today is National Grandparents' Day. If you have a grandparent or a senior friend of the family, be sure to celebrate them today. Our seniors are one of our greatest assets and have so much to teach us. If you don't have a senior to celebrate today, consider contacting your local senior center to see if there is a senior you could "adopt" in your town. Give a shout out to your grandparents in the comment section.
