The above illustration by Evelyn Strong is a picture from my memory and will someday soon be a part of a children's book I wrote.
The handsome man reading the newspaper and patiently allowing that little girl to twist his thick black hair around pink sponge curlers...that's my grandfather...PapPap.
That little girl clad in pink jammies...that's me.
Some of the sweetest memories I own were created from childhood experiences shared with my PapPap...devouring bowls of strawberry ice cream, visiting the cows at a neighboring farm, traipsing through the woods hunting teabearies...such special times...such a special man. I am so blessed that he is still with us.

What a sweet way to share your memories!
Beautiful picture and memory. Can't wait to see the book

Very sweet memory! The picture will be perfect for your book.
My sweetest memories are also with my Papa Coates who is now with our LORD. Thank you for reminding me of those special times this morning.
That is so sweet, your PapPap seems like quite a guy.
So, so, so sweet!
What a sweet, sweet picture!!
Aww...SFMTY is turning out so sappy sweet today!
very sweet. I too have cherished memories with my grandparents and try to make sure our kids have those same experiences as well.
How blessed to have a grandpa that spent time with you!
How exciting about your children's book, can't wait for it to be published!
what a great memory of your grandfather...i lost both of mine in 2007...it is still hard to think that they are really gone...
looking forward to heaven...
Great memories! My grandpa was the same way with me and my sisters. We have wonderful memories of our times with him.
Just remember, the moment may be temporary but the memories are forever. And what a way to preserve those memories - in a book to be handed down from generation to generation.
What a warm fuzzy.....
