Celebrating 99 years of integrity

Grandpa Tony talked to the college professor who now owns the home that he and Grandma Rose built more than 60 years ago.

We were out for a drive after a celebratory lunch on July 5 and stopped to chat with current owner who has lived there for 5 years.

When the prof said she'd heard that the parquet floors were installed as a result of "left overs" from other houses that Grandpa was building at the time he was quick to correct her.

"Oh no. It was all bought and paid for. I placed my order with the flooring guy just like for any other job."

A slice of summer

Nothing brings back fond summer memories like a glimpse of Grandma and Grandpa's house on a beautiful summer day. For me, it conjures up walks to the Dairy Bar and helping Grandpa select just the right tomatoes to pick for supper.

Post your favorite memory for all to enjoy!
