What do you get grandparents for thier anniversary?

[Chandra Amaya]

They have been married for 27 yrs this year I think. They are both in poor health. He is pretty much in bed all the time. He has mini stroke several times a day & has trouble even standing now. She has heart problems & never learned to drive so any gift certificates are out. They argue all the time & don't even appear to be in love. BUT if we don't do something for them we will get the guilt trip for the next 10 yrs. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe a little "get together" with the family? Each could bring a dish with different foods, if they have a garden, you could put up a little party tent, and do a BBQ or surprise them with a high tea.
Its difficult because they both seem in poor health, so its no good taking them away from home for hours i think?

That sound a good idea Mandy, my mum and dad are both in poor health so I know they would like a little get together with family.

But if it is that you feel they will want to open a pressy how about dvd's some old type movies from when they first got together and were crazy about each other I am sure there must have been a time as you are here

I like Mandy's idea and maybe one of those First Alert buttons in case they would ever need it.

We can do that if you like Traci--I don't know how Pappaw's nerves will take us all being in that small house at one time-but he manages at Christmas-He seems to be getting worse but talk to Mammaw and if you think it will be OK we will figure everything out

For my birthday my daughters made a slide show with our family pictures and put it to music on a cd. I loved it! I bet they would really enjoy something like that. Or how about one of those picture frames that have a lot of places for pictures and have it already filled with pictures when you give it to them.

Mom had them a calendar made for Christmas that had pics of all of us one of each month. She also had a small pic of each person for their birthdays & such. It was really nice & she spent alot of time. These people are very rude & didn't even act like they liked it. Instead of hanging it up she put it in a drawer.
