“Granddaddy’s are just antique little boys”
Author Unknown
Today we weren’t able to have a party for Granddaddy with cake, ice cream, and family since we’re Social Distancing, but we did send him a Happy Birthday video! We also did a porch drop off to give him his gift and some homemade b-day goodies from the goobers. It was so nice getting to see them even if it was from the car windows.
For those who don’t know my granddaddy, he’s the Man! He’s a strong God fearing man who has taught me so much! He would take me fishing, to the flea markets, and don’t forget the DOLLAR STORE!! My nickname for him was “Chef”. He would always fix me anything I wanted to eat- My most common requests were: Beefaroni, red-eye gravy grits WITH cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches with the crust cut off OF COURSE, and he would also cut them into little stick pieces. He also makes the best Tropical Punch koolaid! He’s very ticklish and it makes me giggle every time I “get” him. He is one of the best Granddaddys out there and you know what he treats my goobers and Jason just the same. They pick up the goobers from school when they can and they play board games, go fishing in the pond …and…. go to the DOLLAR STORE! They have a blast.
The love he and my Grandma show us is undeniable. Granddaddy/Papa, you mean the world to our family, we love you bunches and wish you a wonderful 88th birthday!
Happy Birthday Granddaddy!
