Happy B-Day Mom!
Two weeks ago we celebrated My Grandafthers 80th Birthday with lots of family and friends at Monterra, a beautiful hall by Westworld in Scottsdale...It was a fun filled 3 days and we celebrated my Mom's B-Day as well. My Grandfather took the stage and played piano...something I will always remeber growing up he'd play music for us and I would sit up and the piano and try and belt out a few songs as he'd show me how to read the music and play songs. I remeber we'd stay up late watching the old Twilight Zone shows with a big bowl of buttered popcorn and Tab.I would help him in the garden and we'd sit on the porch and listen to the Cubbies play on the am radio. We would go to babseball games too and it was my Grandpa who would practice Softball with me and who'd get me a new glove. When my Grandmother passed away on my Grandpa's Birthday in 1997 after a long battle with cancer, he was feeling lonely and sad as we all were. Fortunately he met a great lady Janice a few years later and they got married. They live here full time now after selling the home in Omaha. Grandpa just got done with knee surgery and is feeling better I hear. It was great to celebrate this milestone and we had a great time!! Love you Grandpa & Mom:) GinaBean
