Most Heard Words, Phrases...

Copacetic

LY/MY xoxoxoxo GP (originally created in a text message to Christine, meaning Love You/Miss You xoxo Grandpa)

Home Deppo

MickieDee's

A-squared C-squared

Did you drop your watch? (After an obviously much louder crash-bang occurred)

Ahhh, come on, wipe it off the front of you! (mainly to Jess:)

Sammich (always for lunch!)

Don't "huhrt" me! 

Darn women drivers! (A personal LEAST fav. Come on, GP! Men can be terrible drivers, too. I hope you see that from your vantage point.) 

Come on, Kiddo!


Other memories:

The noise of him chewing from across the table, barely audible but so Grandpa.

The ONE coffee cup he always used with the stained inside... I think he just rinsed it.

HIS place at the dining table, and his seat in the family room. 

Those short afternoon naps he would take on the floor, no pillow, in the front room of Gingerville... sometimes all sweaty from working outside in the yard.

If you're not there at least 5 minutes early, you're late!

That look he gave with his eyebrows raised and wide-open eyes, mouth pursed together.

How proud he was of all of his children and grandchildren.

The speedo he wore to clean the pool----oooh no! LOL







Obituary in the local paper

Grandpa read the Annapolis Capital each evening, frequently sending me clippings of various things he thought would be of interest.
