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.

I write about things I find interesting this include music, movies, cooking, religion, news and whatever else pops in my ADHD brain. As a my tagline says: "The musings of an ADHD mind."I'm never really sure what is will catch my interest.

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.
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”.
