Grandpa B. in Arizona sent this picture to us today along with a cowboy outfit for Ben. Ben received his first cap gun, holster and red neck-kerchief. So now they can be cowboys together!
Doesn’t this look like a scene for the Old West? That’s actually Grammy and Grandpa B’s backyard! So cool. Grandpa also grew a beard for a short time. It was for a role in their Church Play. I believe when it was over, Grammy made him shave it. I must say with the beard, Grandpa B. and Uncle Frank REALLY look alike. They are twins after all!
Most of you probably don’t know this, but Ben sleeps with a picture of Grandpa B. on his bookcase headboard. I don’t remember how it started, but the picture is there and he won’t go to sleep without it. One night I found him asleep with the picture resting on his chest. He woke up in the middle of the night (only to find that I had moved it) and cried until I gave it back to him. Awwww…
Beffy also received a red accordion from Grammy and Grandpa. Grammy says she had one just like it when she was a kid. Tonight, Mom, Dad and Ben were all summoned to a “show” as Beth played for us.
Thanks again Grammy and Grandpa B! Can’t wait to see you in October!
