Grandparents doing it ‘the eskimo way’

By Beth Benner, February 21, 2020

Jane moved to Vancouver, Washington  from Alaska in 2013, following her daughter, son-in-law and 2 beautiful granddaughters.  In 2017 Jane’s husband Rick joined her. Jane and Rick have been lucky enough to live with their family and partake in all their granddaughter’s gymnastic activities.

Fast forward to present day: Jane and Rick have decided to put down their own roots in their own home. House shopping with them has been so fun – they are fun, and funny and so warm and appreciative!

Here they are measuring space for their bed – the eskimo way! 😉
