I’ve Got The Hippy Shakes
A grandfather’s day Circle of Life
I never met my paternal grandfather. He died in 1946. I was born in 1952. Missed him by six years.
Circle of Life.
My two daughters never met their paternal grandfather. He died in 1982. They were born in 1990 and 1992. Missed him by eight and ten years.
Circle of Life.
I’ve been told my grandfather was a wonderful man. He married my grandmother when she was a widow with five children. I can vouch for my father. I know he would have loved and spoiled my two girls, as well as his other grandchildren. What a shame none of this happened. We all missed out!
Circle of life.
My youngest daughter and her husband are having their first child this September. It’s a boy! If I can make until then, and it’s looking pretty good, This baby will get to meet his paternal grandfather. I can’t wait to get the spoiling started!
We’re going to beat that damn Circle of Life!
Happy Grandfather’s and Father’s Day to all.

My so called friends think it’s time to edit this section. After four years, they may be right, but don’t tell them that. I’ll deny it until they die!
I can’t believe I’ve been writing this blog for four years.
It started as a health/wellness thing and over the years has morphed to include so many things that I don’t know how to describe it anymore.
I really thought this was going to be the final year of the blog but then Donald Trump came along. It looks like we’re good for four more years..God help us all!
Oh yeah…the biographical stuff. I’m not 60 anymore. The rest you can read about in the blog. -
