Grandpa's Birthday

Monday Grandpa turned 75. Yup, he's an oldee.
Good thing we love him anyway. (He would remind you that Grandma is older)

It was a great night as many family members were able to be here along with some great friends.

We decided that putting all the candles on the cake (like we did for grandma's birthday- thank the Lord the house is still standing) might be a little much so this one little candle would have to do- and it did just fine.
I will admit that my emotions are closer to the surface now and yes it was great celebrating his day, but knowing it is the last birthday we will spend together is a bit tough. Exciting for him, sad for us. What a great life to have lived though. I know he has touched many people and what a blessing that is, but he has also had a LOT OF FUN doing alot of CRAZY things. He hasn't missed out on much. I hope when I am 75 I can say the same.

Hey Girl! Don't write the "Old Guy" off yet - - He may be like your Grandpa Nick and take the slow road. You know Gramps he did stuff in his own time. Grandpa Wally seems to be cut of the same cloth on that one!! Enjoy every minute! Take Care Love Ya, Kay
