The theme for today's Flickr post is [Grandparents](http://www.flickr.com/photos/erikrasmussen/tags/grandparents/). Since these pictures were taken two years ago, two of my grandparents, Jean and Glen, have passed away. <a href="https://d1js6qm6cshi0v.cloudfront.net/oldblog/2006-07-14-grandparents/189307870_b6f4ff9905_o_d.jpg" target="_blank" class="flickr-image" title="Jean, Jim, and Marga">

**Ramón and Erik** - Marga's maternal grandfather with Erik having a few beers in Extremadura, Spain.

This last picture _always_ makes me smile. I'm never as happy as I am when we are bar hopping in the sweltering Spanish August heat, and I love and respect Marga's grandfather immensely.

(and not to mention that that's a superb picture of me)
