Good times with Gooddaddy! June 2009


June was a super busy month and I will have to say that we did stop and celebrate a few times along the way. One of which was for my Grandfather's birthday. He turned 86 this year and we had a birthday supper for him over at The Melton's house. They were sweet enough to have us all over for his big day. My grandfather is such a special part of my life and he is bound and determined to be around to see Floyd IV as a teenager and I told him that at the rate he's going he'll be around to see him in college. That's just 10 short years away (yikes) and he would be a youthful 96! From birthday celebrations to beach time Gooddaddy was pretty busy this summer! We took him to his condo in Perdido for some "surf and sun". Gooddaddy grew up on the New Jersey coast and the beach has always been one of his true loves. He and my grandmother, Gamba, bought their condo at Perdido Towers in 1984 and we have had many good times there over the years. We are grateful that our family still maintains it so that next generations can enjoy! I know what a pleasure it is to for him to see his Great Grands loving the beach and being able to use and enjoy such a pretty pretty place. Here are a few pics from his first trip this summer. (YES, he went back in July too!!)

Nothing says "beachtime" like a mean game of baseball in the sand right??


Floyd hitting a homer perhaps...
