Grandpa Minch

This is also one of my favorite pictures, I have a copy hanging in our hallway. I loved Grandma & Grandpa's house when I was a kid. They had all the dogs, pictures of the animals on safari, the Buddha, the swimming pool (where Uncle Robert, Uncle Mike and my Dad had diving Olympics), I loved the room Beckie and I slept in with the pretty chenille bed spreads that the pillow was tucked into like at a hotel, I loved the tree out back on the patio that was so tall Beckie and I thought it went all the way to heaven. Mostly I loved after dinner I would sit with Grandpa in his chair and we would share a bowl of ice cream.
This is a picture of Grandpa with all of his Grandkids (even Lukey in Beckie's belly!)
Beckie must have forgotten that we Minch girl cousins like to be the Fanta Girls!
Grandpa and all of his kids. Grandpa you are an awesome in law to have, my mom said that she always felt like you treated her like a daughter.
