Sunday Drive



Alyssa’s granddad likes to go for Sunday drives. So last Sunday we took him to Watertown. It was fun to have both great-grandfather and great-grandson together for the afternoon. Granddad is 92 and Luke was 10 weeks old at the time.

Said another way, Granddad was 33,694 days old (including 23 days for leap year) and Luke was 70 days old. What a blessing life is – both new life and a full, well lived life.

We had fun at my parent’s house strolling around the yard and having a picnic. Also driving around the town to see the Octagon House, Keck’s Furniture (where he bought a couch about 65 years ago), and the Rock River. The Rock River is much smaller in Watertown than it is in Sterling, Illinois, where he used to live. During Granddad’s life he canoed every mile of the Rock River at various times.
