Gran
A couple of weeks ago my grandfather died. He meant a lot to me, and will continue to always be there in my memories.
He was a magnificent man and a great grandfather. He was the lawn mower driver, the pink palace museum guide, the golf ball hunter extraordinaire, the constant salesman, the man who knew everybody, and was respected by everyone.
While he may have been difficult at times, he was a loving and honest man that was well respected by the members of his church and the neighbors in his community.
I have a lot of memories with Gran, like taking walks, searching for worms in the backyard, picking persimmons out of the tree, playing cards, going places like Libertyland and Six Flags, and eating pimento sandwiches. My childhood is filled with great memories of Gran, and while he will be thoroughly missed his memories will forever be with me and I appreciate every one of them.

Visitors
This weekend my parents visited, and had a chance to see Lionel. My mom spent every moment she could holding the little guy, and I think they really had fun just hanging out and spending time with him. I posted more pictures, one of each of my parents holding baby Lionel.
It was a real blast sitting around and chatting about the neighbors tearing down their tree, going to church, and brunch.
I hope it’s not long before we can visit them in their neck of the woods.

Compare and Contrast - Carlton vs Lionel
My father sent me a baby picture of mine, and I figured I’d make it into a compare and contrast for me vs him.
Post your comments and let me know what you think!

May 30th, XXXX
May 30th was special for a lot of reasons, like the first treaty of Paris, but below are two that hit home for me.
1911: The first Indianapolis 500 automobile race was run in Indianapolis, Indiana.
1922: The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C.
