grandpa joe

We made a quick trip to Nebraska this weekend. 1200 miles in 3 days...whew! We went back to attend the memorial service for Scott's Grandpa Joe who passed away last week. The service was truly a celebration of his life. I will always have fond memories of sitting around G.G. and Grandpa Joe's table visiting and enjoying homemade cinnamon rolls and kolacheys.

I loved this quote that was shared at the service -

Life is not a journey to the grave
With the intention of
Arriving safely in a pretty
And well preserved body,
But rather to skid in broadside,
Thoroughly used up,
Totally worn out,
And loudly proclaiming,
WOW! What a ride!
