Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I write this with a quiet smile as I am about grinned out. Today me dear pappy turned 90. The Grand Old Man is still pretty sharp and it's a remarkable achievement to pull ANYTHING over on him -- he and Mama, rest her skinny little soul, survived raising three children and all the collective shenanigans we pulled over our lifetimes. Getting something past the man is just darn near impossible. Did it today, he was honestly surprised to step through the door and see the place was plumb full of kindred, brethren, friends, neighbors, Lodge brothers, in-laws and out-laws, not necessarily in that order. Wait a minute. In exactly that order! Much good food and much good talk, two nieces sang him Happy Birthday after inhaling helium from the floaty balloons (very well received) and my cousin Elaine, when I told her she looked like a million bucks, smacked me on the shoulder and declared I was as full of second hand horse feed as I always was, to which I spread my hands and declared in reply, "The Pope is Catholic, what else is news!" Ninety years old and tending his own needs, clear minded and ornery as ever, and proud as hell of his high achieving young, both children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the accumulated squadron of shirt tail relatives a man gathers up over a lifetime. It is my great pleasure to report that today went rather well. Rather well indeed! 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracos Kid Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 You have been blessed to have him in your life for all those years. My Father died of pancreatic cancer at age 43 when I was only 11 years old. A void in my life that was never filled. Often wondered how different my life would have been had he been with me along the way...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Jack Calder Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Happy Birthday Pappy. I love that monicker. My wife’s family used it for the grandfathers in their midst. Pappy was always a term of affection. CJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
