104 years young...

January 11, 1914...flash forward to January 11, 2018. 
 
 104 YEARS!  My grandfather's birth date and birthday.  Today, he is 104, sharp as a tack and his memory is amazing.  He loves his coffee and still smokes a cigar every chance he gets!  Here's a recent photo of him taken by his daughter.
 
 
When he turned "100", I made him this special card....
 
"100"
 
And, I'm still making him birthday cards!
 
"104"
 
He's lived through many changes and has a lot of stories to tell if you're willing to listen. 
So here's to you, grandpap...Happy "104th" Birthday!  Celebrate in style!
Thanks for stopping by my blog...hope to see you again soon!
