I Don't Usually Post on Sundays...

...But, today there's a good reason to make an exception.

It's my Grandpa's birthday today, and he's one of the greatest guys I know.


Besides being an amazing Father and Grandfather, my Grandpa...

Dedicated his entire career to keeping our country safe...

Has the greatest sense of humor...

Loves In-N-Out Burger more than just about anything...

Is one of the best story tellers I know {and one of the funniest}...

{Although for some reason he never wants to tell us the story of how he ended up with a tattoo of a skunk on his forearm named "Stinky".  His only comment on that one is that it's from his days in the Navy ;)}

Is an avid outdoors-man and loves anything to do with camping, hiking, or fishing.... 

Has an absolute passion for trains {in any size, shape, or form}...

Has traveled all over the world...

And has a family who loves and appreciates him more than he will ever know!


Happy Birthday Grandpa!

If anyone's day of birth deserves a celebration, it's yours!


Lots and Lots of Love being sent your way from South Africa.
