I have a few choice emails from over the years of just what he thought of the Shrub, also.:-) They are on my old PC which I don't fire up very often, but I will do so later this week and see what comes up.

One thing which I enjoyed with SandyGramps, so much, was forwarding emails from my cousin who travels the globe putting in soybean processing plants and other engineering type structures. He always writes great stories of the places he's been, usually obscure places, and includes pix. Sandy really seemed to enjoy them and would write back after each one. It seems a small thing, but he made it seem very important and joyfull, as though it had really made his day. He and Caroline have always made me feel that way over the phone and in writing, too. I know, from reading everyone else's stories, it is one of the very special gifts they both have and boy are we all blessed by it.

Caroline, I'll talk with you in a few weeks...in the meantime: {{{{Caroline}}}}}
