yes, you read that correctly. today is my granddad's (my mom's dad) 91st birthday! how lucky am i to still have my granddad around. he is such an amazing man! he has lived through so many historic moments. he was alive for a portion of world war I, lived through the great depression, served in world war II & used to make phone calls on a party line! this doesn't even begin to document the history that he has experienced in his life. i always wonder if i will see as much change as he has.
last year we had a BIG family bash in Palo Alto/San Fransisco to celebrate his 90th! what a fantastic weekend that was. i can't wait for his 95th bday bash.
my granddad has always been so involved in my life...graduations, dance competitions, birthday parties, holidays...the list just goes on & on. i can't imagine my life without him...i am so blessed!
this photo was taken on the porch of the home he was raised in Rutherford, NJ. My mom, one of her brothers (jack) & my granddad recently took a trip back to his home town. the nice lady that owned the house invited them in & gave them a tour. how wonderful to be able to have the opportunity to go back to a home that meant so much to him as a child & have the opportunity to share it with some of his children!
i love you, granddad! happy 91st birthday! wishing you many, many more years of fantastic life & wonderful moments with family, friends & loved ones.

Your Grand dad is the cutest! As long as I have been friends with you it seems like he doesn't miss anything important! Happy 91st Birthday!
hey how did you end up getting that annoying little wrench off the corner of the side posts? I can't figure it out!
If you log out it usually goes away! when i am logged in to my account it is there.
i know...he is the best.
That is just toooooo awesome! I'd LOVE to talk to him about a few things! That house looks sooo cool. I love old houses.
Sounds like a great man. That picture is so cute with him on the porch. I have always wanted a front porch!
Deann, i should get you a copy of his WWII document he wrote & the video he did with other WWII service men & survivors for HS education. I think you would enjoy them.
Brooke,i love porches too! the east coast has so many amazing houses like that.
