My grandpa turned 80 last week. I can't even imagine being 80 and I still wonder if his math is off because 80 is OLD and he doesn't seem old to me.
I happen to be his only granddaughter, so that has always given me an advantage with him. I never like to admit I am spoiled, but I definitely was the favorite. The best memory I have of my grandpa was being young and standing on his toes while we danced around. All my life he worked hard and wore khaki - khaki shirts and khaki pants (I'm sure he would have worn khaki shoes if he found some!)
In the last couple of years he has slowed down a lot, but he still seems to do more than expected. He has a fabulous garden and has made a ton of wooden cars, trains, and trucks.
He has always been a quiet man and true to form only requested a barbecue in the backyard to celebrate this momentous occasion.
