And now I know why Grandpa and Chandler are best buds. . . they both list fresh fruit as the #1 food!

I was waiting for the famous chicken or skunk stories. . . maybe you should find out about those and write about them.

Ellie, That's great! Ask your Papa about his love for avacados, chocolate covered raisans and if he still loves to play marbles. He also was a peacemaker when he was growing up. He didn't get in arguments with his old sister. Ask him to tell you the story about the Mrs Kesler and the egg story. I think he was a little unhappy that time. I am your ole great aunt. Love you!!
