Aw I love this post! Grandma once told me, “It’s good when people are game to do anything.” Sounds like she is one of those people! It’s funny you say she is an introvert because I’ve always considered her an extrovert! Although she can be quiet, she also can talk to anyone (as long as they’re not on her sh*tlist, haha) and she makes friends everywhere.
I think I’m like grandma and my mom in that way - I have literally made life long friends with baristas, shopkeepers, random people in art classes, the person in line behind me at a food truck. And you know I love a spontaneous adventure!
Yes, she definitely likes people who are 'game'! And she wholeheartedly believes we should enjoy life, use all the good stuff on a daily basis, and spend our money to have fun. YOLO attitude all the way, hahaha!
Great post! My mom and I were total opposites; she was more of a homebody, while I took after my dad (he was a social butterfly.)
And yet, like Mom, I’ve developed a sincere love for wildlife and truly enjoy my ‘alone time.’ My kids occasionally say, “You sound just like Grandma.” This has come with age and I’m glad to now have more in common with her. I know it would make her happy, too!

And I can’t wait to hear all about your retreat!!!
I've already slotted a future post for it.

This reminds me of when I was taking care of my nephew and as he spoke I thought, "That's exactly what your grandfather would say."
I'm excited to hear about your retreat! Have such an amazing time!
I have a future post about Highlights planned already!
