A good way to begin the New Year
Fritz recently hosted his cardboard pizza, taco and root beer float supper with the 5 grandsons and with one of our 3 granddaughters. It was a fun evening ending with traveling Bingo and trying to teach Grandpa how to play a game called Munchkins.
Getting these fun loving people to pose nicely is not easily accomplished:
Moon pies were one of the bingo prizes.

Nose glasses were also a big hit as a Bingo prize, shown here is our Ben a jr. in college
Shown here are Ethan 23, a sr. in college, Paul 15, a freshman in high school, Ben 21, Jacob 19, a college freshman, Sam 18, a sr in high school who has enlisted in the AF, Jacy who is soon to be 15, a freshman in high school posing with Grandpa and Grandma.
Great fun, never a dull moment. Grandpa has these suppers twice a year or so. In summer when he has his cardboard pizza suppers he sets up the badminton net and shows these young fellows what an old man can do.(his words not mine)

@ColeenSr - Thanks so do we!
When grandchildren are FRIENDS, not only with each other, but especially with their grandparents, it says something about their parents — who either encourage or discourage such thing, but it also says something about the grandparents and their willingness to invest in the lives of their grandchildren. It speaks volumes, Lucy, about what you and Fritz have been able to do — not only in the best of situations, but also in the worst. I am impressed with the kids obvious affection for you and also with how comfortable they are around their grandparents. What a blessing — to them, to you, and to the rest of us who are looking on.
@Buckeyegirlie - BEG how sweet of you to say those things. Thank you.
Fritz remains calm among theis bunch of joyous boys ( and girl ).
Touching and beautiful photos of grand parents and grandchildren reunited
