A little bit of nothing. A little bit of everything. Next step in process.

My grandfather passed away on Friday December 16th.  Spent his 87 years in good health, was only in the hospital a week and thankfully didn’t suffer, pretty ideal way to get to spend your life if you ask me.  A whole house to go through and we’re finding all sorts of things…original marriage certificates, his army papers, etc.  Like almost all men during that time, he served our country during WWII.  He completed four tours and served in battles in Normandy, Northern France and the Rhineland.  He was a paratrooper and part of the Normandy landings on “D-Day.”    I love all of the old photographs.  My new favorite, my mom and dad dated 1977.  Wish she would have saved that dress for me!
