Honoring your grandma or granddad on the second Sunday of September can happen in a variety of vivacious ways.
A homemade card, the sort of greeting that is covered with glitter and pom poms, is always a nice touch, as is a meal out (especially if that meal involves your grandparent's favorite food).
Time spent doing something together — maybe karaoke or pickleball or some combination of the two — is also sweet.
