GRUMPA Grumpa is many things to many people. He possesses the quintessential spirit of Grampa-ism. He shares stories of dangerous adventures, nearly missed escapes and upcoming travels into the far reaches of space. He travelled to the moon as a young astronaut and confidently reports this is the reason he possesses super intelligence. He’s claimed to have sailed the 7 sea’s and fought in hand to paw combat with polar bears while visiting the north pole in search of you know who. He’s a tall tale alright, with a big heart and a message for seniors about how they can avoid the aging process by simply ignoring it. He insists he’s single and has never been married but his wife tells a different story. |
GRANDMA Grandma is a dedicated, patient and loving wife. She is Grumpa’s partner in life and spends her time rescuing him from his great idea’s, running him to appointments that he forgets he has made and correcting his story about being single and available. She likes to keep up with the times and is learning about the new “ inter-space and the inter-web ” technologies as she calls them. A “Go Getter Grandma” she wears a yellow track suit just in case she gets the sudden urge to crack a yoga position to keep the stress at bay, while waiting in lines at the bank, the doctor’s office or while grocery shopping. She knows about nutrition, health and mindfulness and is all about stress management and dementia care. |
SARAH Sarah is studying to be a nurse with a special interest in senior in puppetology. She has a deep love for Grandma and Grumpa because they are her only living Peppetoes. Now that her grandparents are getting older, she is keeping an eye on them to help them experience a good quality of life and maintain their independence. Grandpa has been showing signs of dementia and Grandma is going through the process of being his caregiver. Its challenging for everyone involved. Out of breakdowns can come breakthroughs even for Grumpa and Grandma. |
