Happy Birthday, Kenneth!

თრეი-და-მე

My oldest son Kenneth will turn 18 this week. It is hard for me to believe he is a grown man already. It seems like five years ago he was a little guy running around and climbing on everything. When he was less than a year old, მას შეეძლო გამოეკიდო სავარჯიშო მანქანას და აეღო სათამაშოები

ბაბუა-ელისი-1999 წ

Today would have been my maternal grandfather Gilbert P. Ellis’ 100th birthday. Grandpa Ellis only lived to 85 but he imparted 100 years worth of wisdom into the 32 years I knew him. I could write books about him but am going to focus today’s post on how he inspired me by refusing to grow old. ბაბუა ელისმა ფიზიკურად შეინარჩუნა
