When the Past is NOT a Present – Gracieland
By - Posted on October 18, 2012Editor’s Note: We hope you enjoy this week’s Greetings from Gracieland, our fantastic webstrip from Jimmy Gownley and Ellen Toole Austin.

Gracieland Table Talk:
We would like to encourage you to share a family meal and Gracieland together. Each week we will be posting some discussion starters that you can share with your family. Share the webstrip with your kids, grab a plate, pull up a chair, and talk.
Ask your child:
- What is the problem with dad’s report cards?
- Why does dad decide to look to the future?
- Do your parents talk about their past with you? What parts do you find interesting?
- What are some of your favorite things that happened in the past?
- What are you looking forward to in the future?
