back flip



I learned at grandpa's funeral that he once did an unannounced back-flip at age 70 something. How could you not love that? Everyone was just sitting around and grandpa with his round tummy and bird legs climbed the ladder, went to the edge of the diving board, turned around, and did a back flip! I took such delight in hearing that story for the first time this past weekend.

Here is a picture of Grandpa with 4 of his great-granddaughters. At the time of his passing, he had 5 great-granddaughters and one great-grandson on the way. He will be missed!

This is such a sweet picture. I'd like my grandparents to have 'great-grandchildren.'
