Papa John

Who knew . . . I had one of the best grandfathers a girl could ask for?

My grandpa, Papa John, has a birthday coming up on July 1st.  He will be turning 90.  So I am going to take a break in posting about myself and dedicate this post to Papa John.

To tell you how great my grandfather is I listed a few descriptions of him that would prompt me to say Papa John if we were to play a word association game:
  • Warm friendly smiles, greetings, and hugs
  • Loves ice cream
  • Very resourceful - always has what you need like a bag, a book, a tool, anything!
  • Fishes baseballs out of tall hedges in the old back yard like a pro!
  • Incredibly organized - I am always impressed by their garage
  • Loves watching baseball and golf
  • Always willing to unload the dishwasher and help with other household chores
  • Drove you from Utah to Idaho for the summer
  • Genuinely interested and excited to hear things are going well for you
  • Has a large tub or several egg cartons full of golf balls in the garage other than your father
  • Kind to his family
  • Dedicated to fulfilling/magnifying his church callings
  • A great example of someone who loves the Lord

I love you Papa John, 
Happy Birthday!
