My dad is the type of person who likes to tinker. He can usually be found in his shop building some kinds of gadgets and gizmos for his grandchildren. He is extremely creative and he always seems to be able to build something out of a pile of rubbish.

He built a motorized canoe out of old washing machine parts and he built my son a ride on train using black stovepipe. I think it is great that the kids will have these “treasures” that were made just for them by Grandpa with love.

My son loves to hang out with his grandpa in the shop. One day they built a wooden airplane that could really fly and Josh had a blast with it. It was so special to him because it was something that he had created himself and he took such pride in it.

The kids are lucky to have such a wonderful grandpa and I think that one day they will realize just how special he is.
