Bill Coffey’s Birthday Party

We love our adopted grandma and grandpa!  Bill just keeps having birthdays and we think its great!  He is quite and amazing person, we are glad to know him and call him ours!

What a great day, for a great man!

Neighbor Grandma and Grandpa

I always have a hard time coming up with something productive for us to do when we are out of school so many days before Christmas.  We can only clean so much, at least that is what the kids tell me!  We went up to see Grandma Violet and Bill Coffey and take their Christmas presents up. 

We love having them so close, we also love to just pop in on them and spend a couple of hours.  It is always a fun visit.

Bill Coffey is 89!

And going STRONG! He just installed a chin up bar in the kitchen and does chin ups every morning...seriously! We are so fortunate to have such great "adopted" grandparents! We love having them live so close!That cake was SO good!
Lots of "real" grand kids, and a few adopted ones too! What a wonderful celebration for a GREAT Grandpa!

MY FLAG

The flag pole is up! and so is the flag! YEAH! Bill Coffey gave us the best early Christmas present! We just love our Bill Coffey and Grandma Violet, they take good care of us! Bill just had surgery but still got it done, cant keep that man down! I am so excited, It turned out PERFECT!! Now I just have to remember to take it down at night, one more thing to do......

Flag Pole, Phase 1

Our very best neighbor Grandpa Bill Coffey is building me a flag pole. He came this morning to install the base of it. It is going to be 40 feet tall! Wowsers, I am really excited! (I am pretty sure I am going to need a bigger flag!) He pounded and pounded with a really heavy sledge hammer and got it in really deep and good so hopefully it will hold up the pole that he is making! This man is amazing, he is 88 years old!! He is one tough grandpa!! And we LOVE him! I cant wait to FINALLY have a flag pole. We are really making some BIG additions to the yard this summer. Cant wait for the new grass to start growing too......I guess I better get it planted first!!
