Thinking of Grandpa and wandering down Memory Lane...

 
This is the first of this series of pictures of Grandpa.  It was taken in 1995 at my wedding.

I like this picture of Grandpa and all his and Grandma's Children. I don't remember the exact date of this reunion, but I know Rob and I didn't have kids yet and were married.  Somewhere between 1995 and1999... 
When Evan was a year old, we took a road trip through Montana.  I have great memories of this time with Grandpa.  I remember this as "Grandma's Chair," but it was special that Grandpa used it after she was gone.
 
Evan's first 4-wheeler ride was with Great Grandpa Clarence...

And his first horse ride was with Grandpa's help.  Yikes!!
While we were there with Grandpa, Evan pulled himself up for the first time on the stone fireplace.  I have so many childhood memories that center around that fireplace.  This was special.



Grandpa spent Thanksgiving 2002 with us at Wolf Point.
Grandpa visited us in May 2004 while we were with Mom.
And he visited again in Mom's last days.  This was their last time together here on Earth...  
At Mom's funeral time, Grandpa with the grandkids....  There are more pictures and more memories, but time and space don't allow.  I'm thankful for my grandpa.  He was a sweet man, and lived a good life.  He had much to go on to.
