Next Monday Hutch will officially celebrate his 2nd birthday. However the real celebration will be this Saturday afternoon. My mom and dad are coming up from Louisiana for the party. Joy and a couple of her good friends will drive in from Fayetteville. Stephen's family will be coming in from L.A. (that's Lynn, Arkansas). Needless to say, it's a big deal.
For most of my life I have heard "old" people talk about how much fun it is to have grandchildren. I brushed it off as the simple ramblings of those who had nothing else to talk about. Now I know better. I could talk about the economy, the war against terror, the presidential race or the football games this weekend. But most of all I want to talk about "the boy." It was worth having kids just to get to have grandkids.
Now I know that you young people will brush this off as the simple ramblings of an old man who has nothing else to talk about it. Honestly, it doesn't matter. And by the way I am not reallly that old. Grandparents are a lot younger than they used to be!
Happy Birthday Hutch! Your Papa J loves you.
Johnny
