poppa

this is poppa on his 91st birthday (august 30, 2009)!! he looks a little unsure of the cake, but i think it is a great photo of him. here are some of my favorite "poppa-isms" :

"whaaat?"
"what does she look like?" (his reply when he answers the phone and i ask for granny)
"how about some bean soup?"
"i don't knooooww."
"be careful."

i sure miss granny and poppa. riding in the "way back" of the station wagon was just the best when i was little.

spending many of my hours during the week with older adults, makes me think of my grandparents...my grandparents make me think of the people i spend many of my days with. if granny and poppa weren't so great, i wouldn't have the job i have today. thanks g & p for all of the memories and all of the sleepovers. i am so lucky to be 28 and have 3 grandparents. unheard of, really.
