85 Years of Success and Memories

Grandpa Blaine is the Big 85 Years Old!!!! What a legacy he has lived and an example he has set on his posterity and others. I am so proud to have him as my grandfather. He has been such an important person in my life. I have spent many days and nights with him at his home. From the time I was little up to now. I loved spending the day with him and grandma while my parents worked. We would watch steel magnolias and field of dreams everyday. I would help them out in their yard and build forts in the corner. They always had the best food and treats, and grandma always made the best meals. She had ice cream, fruit, chocolate, cookies!!! I loved having sleepovers, and waking up to big breakfasts that Grandma would make. I love our trips over there where we would have popcorn, and laugh hysterically watching America's Funniest Home Videos. I would consider Grandpa Blaine a cat, a man with 9 lives. He has overcome many heart attacks, strokes, and other health issues, but has always been one of the positive people I have met, never complaining about anything, and always has a smile on his face. I love listening to Grandpa's stories; growing up, when he met my Grandma, asking her to marry him, his jobs, family,etc. I love grandpa's phrases and jokes (well the clean ones anyways, haha). He is always coming up with something funny to say, just to make my day. Thanks for all you do Grandpa and for always being there for me! We Love You!!! :)
