A whole bunch of blessings all wrapped up in a very handsome 96 year old man

I've been slacking on blogging my blessings this week, but that doesn't mean I've not been thinking about them. With the failing health of my grandpa, I've been sharing blessings with my cousins and siblings through a Facebook message as we reminisce about our childhood years with him.  Topics that have come up include: 


Corn roasts
Mama Cat/Dumb Cat
Easter egg hunts in the front yard
Rain barrel baths
The wallpaper in the mud room
The closet full of games
Snowballs
Chickens
Rummy and solitaire
Christmas wrap fights (started by grandpa)
Pronunciation of words: 
warsh (what you do to get the bidadas out of yer ears so you can listen better)
bat trees (what you put in flashlights or radios to make them work)
prit near (almost, "it's prit near time for me to get off the computer and get in the shower")
Christmas trees


And the list goes on.
