Season 1 Episode 5: Prompts & Ideas to get the conversation started. As a kid, one of the best parts of going on a road trip was the games we played in the car.  Games like, I spy, 20 questions, and License plate bingo, kept us busy for hours. They were amusing and sometimes led to great conversations and family stories. That's what good games do; they help us remember and talk about what matters. 

Season 1 Episode 4: Did your family call it the glove box or the glove compartment? The glove box has long been viewed as the place to store information for journeys; like user manuals, maps and trinkets collected along the way. In this episode, Linda & Mary discuss the important documents we need to complete and have on hand at the end of life. The glove box is an important document holder.
