Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!


Yesterday my mom hosted a party for my Grandpa's 90th birthday! Isn't that awesome! It's incredible to think that he's been alive since 1918 and all the history he's seen. I love to hear him talk about his life. He has an amazing memory, and it's fascinating to hear about all his experiences. I asked him about his most memorable birthday, and he said his 21st because his mom threw a surprise party for him. He was just returning from the World's fair which was in New York. He said he took $30 cash plus some traveler's checks but didn't need the checks. The $30 was enough for travel, meals, hotels, transportation. Incredible.
