Of course you do and since I'm a grandpa now, I know how important this is. My wife, is a grandma and I get great advice from her all the time. (Really honey, I'm not just saying this)
Take a look at this picture below, how funny is this?
About 12 years ago, a co-worker in New York City asked Mike Mathews for advice and he suggested they call his grandmother, Eileen for advice. She did and it made a big difference for her. Mike bought a lemonade stand and set-up a Face Time booth for New Yorkers to talk with his grandma. He said, "My grandma has so much love and her presence is to big for our family, she needs something more.
Every Saturday morning he would set this up at a different location on The Upper West Side. He would come up with a question for the day to start conversation and the free advice was a big hit. In 2018, his grandmother passed away at age 102 and he closed the grandma stand.
Recently he started the stand again with six rotating grandmas, three in person and three remotely. He believes that this helps people to reach out to their own grandmas and this makes our senior citizens more valuable. Below is the new stand, which looks identical to the old one.
