Grandpa sitting in his favorite spot on his driveway. It was the perfect place to watch the comings and goings at the post office, and also to doze.
I'm not sure what he was telling Bevan here, but Kip looked amused...he must have been giving Bevan the 'what for'!
This is a photo of grandpa and my boys at the Diamondbacks game. It was quite the experience! You can read about it here.I will miss you, Grandpa!
