Grandpa Great Comes Up To Visit!

Last Thursday, Jeff's Grandpa Fred (Mike's Dad), came up to visit and check on Mike and take us out to lunch.

Grandpa Great is amazing!! He drove all of the way up from Blanding that morning. Visited some relatives that live up here. And then, he took us out to lunch and then confirmed: "Well Mike, it looks like they're taking good care of you. I'm gonna head on home because I feel good about how you are doing." And then he turns around to drive the five hour trip back home. Unfortunately, there was a mudslide in Price Canyon that afternoon, so his trip was diverted and he had to go through Manti. He did not make it home until after 9:00pm. We were a little worried about our 85 year-old Grandpa Great without a cell phone....but, we're glad he made it home safe and sound! Thanks for coming up to see us!

That is a cute grandpa, and I love that you call him Grandpa Great. We call the kids' great-grandparents Super- Papa or Super- Grandma. What a nice guy to make that big drive in one day. I'm glad Mike is doing so well!
