Jake's grandpa passed away on Sunday so we would like to dedicate this entry to him. I only met him once, but the meeting was very memorable. He lives on a large plot of land in Tucson and Jake and I went to visit him a couple of years ago. Jake was out in the garage with his uncle Bob and I stayed in the nice air conditioned house with Grandpa Bud. We played about 40 hands of Gin Rummy when Gramps asks me how long my hair was. I had it all pulled up in a clip and it was fairly long at the time. I pulled the clip out of my hair to let it down and grandpa let's out a whoop and says "amazing, do it again!" I found this to be amusing the first time, but several requests later, I was beginning to get creeped out. I was looking around for Jake to save me but he was nowhere to be found. The only thing I could think of to do was to grab the little device that tests your blood sugar on the table and I asked him to show me how it works. A couple of finger pricks later, I learned that I have a normal level of sugar in my blood. The other memory I have of that day is when it was around 5:00 p.m., Grandpa says to us "If you want something to eat, you are going to have to go get it yourself, we don't feed guests here". I looked at Jake and he said "well alright, let's go get something to eat!" That was the last time we saw grandpa, but we were the recipients of hundreds (and that is no exaggeration) of forwards throughout the years. We'll sure miss you, Grandpa!
