Grandpa Birthday

Happy birthday Grandpa Johnny!


He's been gone for many years now, but the good memories still remain.

I remember it was about a 2 1/2 drive from our house to theirs.  We'd leave early on a Saturday morning and get to their place around 9:30.

Chicken from KFC (usually).

All sorts of talk about the Cardinals (he was a huge fan).

His comfy chair sitting over in the corner of the living room -- covered in towels.

Taking a walk around his pond or down the lane to Uncle Kevin's house.

As we were getting ready to go, he'd do the "grandpa stretch", grab his wallet, and give me a bill.


Having a mind full of fun and happy family memories is such a blessing.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt
