Grandparents Breakfast

My dad has been here this past weekend.  He wasn't supposed to be.  He was planning to be here this coming Friday for a few days.  He's on a 25-day Midwestern tour of sorts, manning booths at state fairs and conventions and meeting with various people here and there from North Dakota to Oklahoma to Ohio and several places in between.  But when Sterling came home with information about the Grandparents Breakfast his class was hosting, Grandpa decided that he could make a little (900 mile or so) detour to be here for it.


Sterling was thrilled to have Grandpa there.  He loved hearing Grandpa tell the group about his own school days including how he was sent home from Kindergarten for shaving in the bathroom and how he was in love with his 4th grade teacher.  The event ended about an hour ago and Grandpa is already on the road to his next destination.  He'll still be back this weekend as he'd originally planned, but I'm sure this morning will long be remembered by one 8-year-old boy.
