Graf Family
We just returned from the Graf Family Reunion in Littleton, Co. at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Unlike the recent unexpected family reunion of my wife’s family, due to the death of my mother-in-law, this one was planned and was focused around a happy event, Thanksgiving. Graf Family members gathered from Hawaii, Iowa City, Utah, Wisconsin and of course Colorado. Everyone in this picture is a Graf Family member and range in age from my granddaughter, Carolee who is three to me who is free. (64). I found myself again relating better to the children than adults but enjoyed the presence of both and the three dogs and my sister-in-laws family from Colorado and Nevada that were present. Getting together as a family is a real growing power event.
We had the traditional Thanksgiving meal on Thursday but on Friday we had the Graf Family Grape Leave Dinner. This is the first time in a number of years that we have all been together and as with my family of birth, food was at the heart of the celebration. The new unifying twist this time seem to be football as Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos and Hawaii Warriors all played on TV during this time. Besides football and food, cards and swimming seem to be enjoyable events. Of course a number of the teens and young adults went skiing last Saturday but some found out the hard way that skiing or snowboard in the mountains was not like doing it elsewhere. We were at a high level of elevation. One thing I did noticed in the Rocky Mountain area was that although the weather was cold with some snow, the sun was hot. Denver area is truly one of the sunniest in the USA. Sun is good for Growing Power and seems to be good for people in the Rocky Mountain area. This area would be, and perhaps is, a good place for Growing Power.
Now I return from the Rocky Mountain High to the earth of everyday life and the garden inside out. I noticed that some of the greens in the GP box in the sunroom, especially those below the growing light, really did grow. Light, like the sunlight in Colorado or the growing light above the center of the GP box is essential to growth.
