Short But Very Sweet...

Last week, I had the pleasure of chillin' with my Opa.  He drives busses from time to time - and as chance had it, he drove the Chicago (he's from St. Charles, IL) ECHL team down to Cincy to play the awesome Cincinnati CYCLONES!

opa and soren::soren picked out some snacks for opa's trip back::me and my opa ♥
So, I told him - during the game, we are coming to kidnap you for dinner and will have you back in time to pack up the bus and leave.  He, was like - 'food, for free, my grand-daughter and great grandson - DUH!  See you at 5!'

It was awesome - better than awesome!  He is doing very well - healing up nicely after some medical mishaps of the past year (including a bum shoulder, you'd never know!).  He's a trooper and my grandpa - he rules!  So we grabbed some quick Potbelly's sandwiches with Soren and met up with Rick at work so we could all eat, or try to eat (since Rick has to board-op and of course it was an election night!) together. Opa got a quick tour of what we do and where we spend a better portion of our days.  It was fun, nice and wonderfully familial.  Thanks for the quick visit Opa!

Ich liebe dich xoxo

You know, it's all Grandpa has been talking about. He had such a good time with you, Rick and Soren - even though it was short - you made it very memorable. He loved the Whole Foods goodie bag you and Soren put together for his bus ride home that evening, seeing where you live and work and thought Potbelly's was very tasty. Thank you for making his short time with you so very special and have such a lasting memory - he really loved seeing you!
