Grandaddy and Paw



I decided to tell you all about my two favorite people over the age of 80.....Grandaddy and Paw. Grandaddy is my grandfather, and Paw is Sean's. They both are the most genuine, kind hearted people I know. Grandaddy and Paw have a lot in common. Grandaddy was an Army Ranger in World War II, and Paw is a retired Marine, They both love Auburn as well. Both of them will turn 84 this year. When we are all together, they have the best conversations about history. They both are always thinking of ways to make us happy. If any of you know Sean well, he loves hooded sweatshirts. He wears them all of the time at the farm in the winter. Grandaddy lives in Alex City, and is retired from Russell. A couple of times a week he will go to the Russell Outlet store in search of a new hooded sweatshirt for Sean. Since it is getting warmer outside, he is on the hunt for Auburn t-shirts. He is always looking for something he thinks Sean would like to have. Now Paw, he always puts a smile on my face and always makes me laugh. He always has a good story or a good joke to tell. He gives the best gifts, and wraps them even better! The best wrapped gifts I have ever gotten have come from Paw because he puts so much of his personality in the wrapping. He is the one who taught me how to play Suduko. He plays it alot. Paw is the one who cuts out newspaper articles that he thinks we might enjoy reading, and he mails them to us.

Paw loves to hear about Sean's cows and what is going on at the farm, and the cows really amaze Grandaddy! Grandaddy is also amazed at how much food Sean can eat! Sean and I are so lucky to have grandfathers who are so lively, outgoing and young at heart. I know Paw reads our blog frequently, so Paw, we love you!! Paw is a lot more computer literate than Grandaddy, so I will call Grandaddy tonight to tell him the same!!
