If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it. ~Andy Rooney
Today’s smile is brought to you by Abby, age 5. She’s sitting on a beautifully crafted rocking chair that her PapaRon built for her, and she’s holding Sally, the doll GrammaNae and PapaGary sent her. The similarity between the “mommy” and the dolly is NOT coincidental! Much love is going on there, don’t you think?

… our california kids …
G.E. and I had such a blast visiting our California kids during the 4th of July holiday. As always, we kept busy AND ate well! (Thanks, Lisa!)
I’m going to let the photos do the talking because they prove a picture is worth a 1000 words! So here is a slideshow worth about 42,000 WORDS!
ENJOY!
… a time to “tributize” the grandpa, too …
There are times I refer to Gar as “GrumPa” – usually when he assumes his Felix Unger identity, and the little ones combine to play his rascally counterpart, Oscar (as in The Odd Couple’s Oscar Madison, NOT Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch.)
Walter Mattau and Jack Lemon - the original Oscar and Felix
Oscar Madison, slob; Felix Unger, neat-freak
Both a slob AND a grouch!
He may not LOVE their MESSES, but he’s working on that patience thing because he absolutely adores his grandkidlets. Gar loved his Father’s Day with his little ones, and here’s proof!
Can you get it, GramPa?
We made it, Buddy!
Learnin' to walk with GramPa!
- Congratulatory Kisses!
Thanks to Unca Tim for these great pictures, and more will be on their way! We can’t pass up Kodak moments like these, now can we? (Especially when GramPa is wearing the preppy plaid Burmudas Gramma gave him for Father’s Day – the pale, white legs came free with the shorts! : ) )
