Keep in touch with the older generation

I came up with this great idea to keep in touch with the older generation. It is regarding much older people, specifically, my grandmother who is 90. She lives in a retirement complex, and my grandfather is currently next door in a skilled nursing facility as his health has not been good lately. I know that my grandmother misses him, and staying connected to family is very high on her list of important things in this stage of life. I then thought about how people stay in touch with family far away through blogging, but that the aging generation (as in those in their 80’s and 90’s) very likely are not computer literate, and have no urge to use computers. I know that my grandmother falls into this category. I think that to give her updates, and to stay in contact, and to give her a little something to look forward to, I am going to print out my blog posts each time and mail a copy to her. I bet that she would love it. I will start today.

How do you keep in touch with grandparents or great-grandparents?
