85 Years Young

Grandpa Bonzo turned 85 yesterday, we celebrated his birthday on Saturday, We had a delicious BBQ, salads, veggies, fruits, and of course cake and ice cream, and most of the family was there, it was a beautiful day, and I think Grandpa enjoyed every bit of it. He is one amazing man! He is my hero for many reasons, He fought for our country in WWII and the Korean War, he was my babysitter when I was little, we had Friday lunch dates every week. I'm so proud to say, that he watches Kamry while I go to school in the mornings, that's pretty impressive, and I don't worry one bit. He goes like the wind, nothing stops that man, he keeps up his yard, and loves to tinker with anything. Happy Birthday Gpa, we sure love you!!!
