Item #6 is a Scrabble reference. Dad was a pretty tough Scrabble player, not to mention his ability at Hearts !
ReplyDeleteShannon, this is terrific! I've shared all of these lessons with my children as well (after taking on some pointers myself). Thank you for sharing the wisdom your grandfather brought to your life. We all miss him dearly.
