Our Day Trip & Family Heritage

Last Friday my alarm clock sounded its presence at 3:15am.  Granddad had taken the day off from work (as long as you consider checking and returning messages from his phone as "taking the day off").  

He and I were taking the day to visit his parents & grandmother who live about 7 or so hours away.  Yeah, I know ... that's probably setting a record for what's considered as a "day trip".  But, it's been a while since we've been able to visit, so we headed out early that morning ...

And had a wonderful visit! 

Here's the 3 generations -- Granddad, his Mom and his Mommaw.

Granddad & I cannot believe that Mommaw is 90 years young!

Although the visit was short, we enjoyed it very much ... just wished we had more time to spend with them.  We went out for a late lunch, then back to the house and reminisced through some old family pictures.  I picked out "several" pictures to scan, and ended up bringing home hundreds for my spare time hobby.  

(I have a really awesome idea that I am working on to implement mine and Granddad's childhood pictures.  And I have bunches of pictures to start practicing on!)

Here's a few of "bonus" pictures of years ago ... Granddad, his parents & brother in their family bluegrass band.  Music is a major aspect of his heritage, and through the years God has given Granddad the opportunity to use his heritage & gifts for His service.
