Family photos
My mom sent me some photos I've asked for. I love old family photos. The first is my Granpa's family, my Granpa is the youngest boy. This was so odd to me to see him as a little boy and great to see the whole family, especially my great grandparents. The photo is about 85 years old. It's a little surreal, his stories of his childhood are of a much different world than we live in today.


The next photo is of my grandparents wedding. It must have been winter because other photos show everyone in fur coats. You can't quite tell but Granpa's pants are pinstripes and we all know how much I love pinstripes. Again, a very different world. I asked Granpa this summer when he was married, he couldn't remember if it was '47 or '48 which I think is hilarious. It was just so long ago.


This photo has long been one of my favorites. It's me and Granpa teaching my brother to ride his tricycle. Adorable!

12 Monkeys
It's certainly a Terry Gilliam movie.

Memorial service planned
My mom and aunt will be up Feb 4-18 with a memorial service Feb 8 and private burial Feb 9. I'll be taking some time off work to help clean out Granpa's house.

Thank you everyone, I still miss Granpa but I'm feeling much better.
