Creative!

Gramps could obviously be very creative when it came to Christmas presents. There was the ashtray incident I spoke of earlier. And, then another year it was a certain reminder of an earlier mishap with one of his kids. Dad’s brother Carl had a tendency to get in trouble and find mischief at every turn. One time he had decided to jump off his friend’s porch and accidentally broke his arm in the process. Well, that Christmas one of Carl’s presents was his x-ray. "Since your xray cost so much, we figured we’d give it to as a gift." Gramps told him. I love his sense of humor!

  1. I really miss him :-(
    But, we'll get to see him again "when the roll is called up yonder". We're trying very hard to keep his corny joke legacy alive down here. Jake and both of the youngest kids are doing him proud. :-)
    Love you, sweetie!
