Welcome. I will be visiting the Bay Area soon. My 92 yr. old aunt lives in Los Altos, and we visit her every February. We can't leave her alone much, so I take my laptop and I hope to get a lot of practice with Gimp that week.

Good for you dude,
The times you share with a time keeper from that era like that can't even be measured.

I speak from the heart and experience as I lost both my Mom and Grandma 1.5 years ago. My Grandmother was 94 years old.

I was smart enough to sit with her over the years and ask questions and dialogue about things that ONLY someone from her generation (who bye the way she essentially outlived her ENTIRE family, extended included and most of her personal friends...)

Take pics, but shoot video , record audio from your smartphone and ask her questions!

I did something really awesome one year , where I asked my Grandmother to look directly into the camera and tell her future generations 3 things she wanted them to know about her and Life in general. (***AWESOME***)

I can only imagine being a kid 25-50-100 years from now actually looking into the face of my great-great-great- granny talking to me telling me "I love you..." (brings a tear to my eye... :heart

)

Have fun with your Aunt and enjoy the Bay!
