Happy Birthday Grandpa, and a 3rd place finish

Grandpa Lewis died 8 years ago.  Today June 2 was his birthday.  Brooke and Andrew got a cake for Grandma to celebrate.  I drank a lot of Diet Coke in honor of him.  He loved a good Coke with crushed ice.  I mean a HUGE coke.  I thought about him also today as I heard him say "just let it go". He was big on letting things go and why don't you outnice people.  I hated that phrase the most.  Outnice someone?  Who wants to do that.  What good advice.  He also said one of the best ways to do missionary work is by not mentioning the gospel at all.  Just be good and friendly.  He also said that even if the Church of Jesus Christ is wrong in the end, it isn't a bad way to live.  

He loved his Mustang Convertible, Playing golf and big slab of steak or Prime rib.  He also loved a good cookie or donut.  My kids were raised at his house because he took them to school every day after they ate breakfast and he told them some jokes at the table each day.  He picked them up after Kindergarten and if Grandma wasn't home, they could go and get lunch somewhere.  However, if you went to the drive through window, you had to order from the back seat because he didn't know how to order at the drive through.  

Michelle and I played some golf on his birthdayw.  Actually it was a tournament.  He would have liked that and he would have been especially happy because look at the text we got after our tournament.  Yes I was in the top 3.  Who would have thought.

Miss him every day.
