A Great Grandpa

 Elle gives Great-grandpa Rawlin bams for
his 90th birthday.
Grandpa and his sisters, JoNell and Julene, and families along with Aunt Meme, Uncle Scott, Ash, and Jordan celebrated with us and Grandpa Rawlin in the rehab facility he's had to stay in since his fall.
Grandpa Rawlin always has a warm handshake and appreciative words for us. His hands are plenty shaky, but he still crochets like nobody's business and has donated several crocheted newborn caps and booties to maternity wards. (I love MK's classic full-on cheeser.)
Aunt Meme found NINE lip glosses in her purse and told Elle she actually had two more nearby. Elle was in heaven :)
As we said our good-byes, I leaned over and told Grandpa Rawlin, "Be strong, be good, and be happy—we're counting on you." He said, "Do I have to?" 
As he always says, "Ciao."
