Granddaddy Pride

Kara & Zachary
My grandchildren are doing so good in school that it makes me proud. You know, that “Granddaddy Pride!”

Zachary had an exceptional report card. So good that I wondered if this was my grandson! In six subjects he had all A’s (Two 99s, and four 100s or more). You can click on his report card if you want to see the details.

And there’s Kara. She made all A’s and got the following plaques:

I’m also VERY proud of my other grandchild, Mandy, who is 26 years old and married. She will likely be the the one to make me a great granddaddy some day. Well, I’ll quit bragging for today. I would be easy to start bragging about my children, but I’ll stop. I’m so thankful for all of my family. And no matter what, if they do their best, I’m proud of them.

Question: “You don’t spoil your grandchildren do you?”
Answer: “Not this morning, I haven’t seen them yet.”

Tennessee Granddaddy Says:
I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.

Quote of the Day

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.  We grow old by deserting our ideals.  Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
