My last grandad died this morning.

He was 90 and 2 weeks ago he was building an addition on
my uncles house.

Ain't no school like the old school.

My grandpa was 96 when he passed, a no-kiddin cowboy and blacksmith.
Bought some land, felled the trees, built a 2 story house from said
trees. 60 years later the house needed some work on the
foundation... after all that time it was within 1/8 on an inch of
being dead on square.

Let's hope that those lessons live on in all of us so our kids stand a
chance.
