ABC Wednesday: R is for Granddad Rowland
10November 19, 2008 by TheDeeZone
I was privileged to grow up with Grandparents as well as my great-granddad. Granddad Rowland had 9 children and many grandchildren (and great-grandchildren) but he had the ability to make each one feel special. I enjoyed “helping” granddad in his fix-it shop. Sometimes Granddad would take me along when he was the guest preacher at churches. I enjoyed getting spend time with my Granddad. Other posts about Granddad: ABC Wednesday: Q is for Quilt and Funny Preacher Stories.

The last picture is very well captured. I am sure he lived a great life.
My R posts are here and here. Happy midweek to you!
Thanks for sharing these precious photos of your granddad. You are so lucky to grow up with them, I never get a chance to grow up with my grandma or grandpa on both parents.

Thanks for sharing, Dee. This reminded me of good memories of my own grandfather. I love the last picture of your grandfather in this post.
FoodieJenn: Thank you. My Granddad was a Godly man.
Earthlingorgeous: I was blessed to have known 3 grandparents and 2 great-grandparents. Granddad was actually my great-granddad.
Quinn: TY, Are you familiar with the song for FFB by Michael Card? That song reminds me of Granddad. Yes, I like that last candid shot.
Nice photos to use in your albums. Good ABC choice.
He was a very handsome man. You are very lucky you know him. I don’t remember my great grandparents. You all are a big, beautiful family. Excellent choise for “R”.
Thank you for sharing your family photos of your Grandad with us here on ABC Wednesday letter R.
