Thanks, Hadley H1.

As a bit of inside information on this photo; my Dad was Principal of the school where my granddaughter goes (and where my son went, and where I went) from 1949 until his retirement in 1979. In honor to my Dad's memory, whenever I visit the school for a program like this, I always wear my Dad's necktie, tie clip, and watch that he wore when he was there. I have a photo from the 1965 yearbook that shows my Dad wearing the same tie that I have on in today's photo.

My granddaughter, Mackenna, had her Academic Excellence program at school today. She got an award for excellence in math. If you can't tell, I'm really proud of her.

We went out for my birthday last night, and Hubby snapped a rare Mama-Lily photo.

Happy Birthday.

Thanks! I also got swarm-hugged by an entire class of Kindergarten kids, and had a lunchroom of 170+ kids sing happy birthday to me. It was great!!

I had a funny thing happen to me when I visited my granddaughter's school yesterday. As I came in the school to go to my granddaughter's second grade program, there was a little girl sitting in a chair beside the office door. The little girl looked up at me and said, "I know you, you're Mackenna's Daddy."

I don't recall ever seeing this little girl before, but she sure did know me and associated me with my granddaughter. I smiled when I thought about someone my age (62) having a daughter in the second grade.

I politely corrected her and said, "Mackenna is my granddaughter." The little girl, never batting an eye, said, "you always come to her programs so I know you're her daddy."

That made me smile.

My youngest grandson, Clayton, riding in our old wagon. My son, who is (in my opinion) a great photographer, took this photo.

Clayton is named after his 5X great grandfather, Clayton Brown (1793-1881).

Your post made me smile. I’ve had it just the opposite though. I had a coworker ask me about my Grandchild, I replied that’s my son with a smile. I’m 50 and our youngest son Ian will turn 6 in July. I’m loving every minute of being a more “mature” Dad. There is
18 years between our oldest son and our youngest with our daughter in the middle. She just turned 20. Nothing better than being a parent!

I have four children, with the oldest soon to turn 40 and the youngest being 23, so I know a little bit about having a "spread" in children's ages. There is something to be said about being a more "mature" parent.
