another goodbye

On September 13th, my grandpa died.  Even though he was older (85), we still were caught off guard considering it had only been a couple of weeks since my dad died.  Calla and I flew down there for the weekend to be with more family and celebrate my grandpa's long life.  It was another good weekend of remembering, but also hard to be going through the whole thing all over again so soon.

when we were in KC for my dad's funeral, my grandpa told me to take this cribbage board he had hanging in his house that I have loved.  It is now proudly hanging in our house.

my grandpa was proud of his flag and country and served time in the Navy...it flew at half mast for a little while
