GREAT Grandpa turns 90!

That's right, I have a GREAT grandpa. He is 90 years young this month and on Saturday we celebrated him with a surprise party. I will repeat, we threw a SURPRISE party for a 90 year old! As risky as that sounds, it turned out perfectly. He was genuinely surprised and after that he was all smiles (and a few happy tears). It amazes me to think about the amount of life and love you can accumulate in 90 years.

Grandpa is an amazing man and he has lived a beautiful life (some sweet, some bitter) but here is what I took away from the day in terms of living a good life - live simply, be giving to others, love God and surround yourself with family and friends - oh yea, and fish. :-) 

Love you Grandpa

SURPRISE!!

 A cake fit for a fisherman!

Friends and family shared memories.
