Happy Grandpa

Post by Jerry B. »

Today my grandson, Wyatt, surprised me with this terrific handmade shop class gift. I couldn't be happier! He's a sophomore at West Albany High and currently on the highly ranked water polo team and lives about a five minute bike ride from us. Being a grandparent is wonderful. I'm still taller... don't you think? Jerry

Well done! He knows what Grandpa likes.
It will be mounted over your work bench soon?
As he gets a few projects under his belt, give him a template for a grill! ;)

Now Grandpa needs to return the favor and give him his first phonograph.

Good idea Jerry, really. Hopefully he'll develop an interest.

What a lovely and thoughtful gift! I'm sure you'll treasure it for many years to come.

As far as the taller part, um, I suppose you could always put on a Stetson... that will make you the taller of the two. :lol:

A very thoughtful gift, would be the prize of my collection.

As far as height, I'm with Jerry on this one...
Remove his ball cap and shave his head for a fair comparison.
