Today was Grandpa Cutes' 78th birthday and I believe that it was an enjoyable one for him. He first got to play golf with his friends besting his age by 2. He then was able to visit with Cameron and swap golf stories later in the day. He opened gifts from Meg and Cam including a snake like flashlight with a magnetic tip to pick up anything that he drops while working including his teeth and a Grandpa journal to write down all of the memories and stories that he had collected over the years. He also received texts and phone calls from Meg, Brett and Cal and had Texas cake for dessert.
I couldn't imagine a more appropriate day to celebrate Grandpa Cutes than this one. It was so different than last year when we were all shuttered away wondering when lockdown would be over. The weather was miserable then and no one was sure if the golf course would even open last spring. I don't know if the pandemic will make his memory book, but it definitely made for an interesting year. No matter what stories or memories that Grandpa Cutes' chooses to write about, the Heinisch children have been looking forward to hearing them. From growing up in Milford, to living in Chicago, to working at the radio station, to changing the wrong flat tire and finally almost driving his car into ten pond looking for fish worms, he has definitely lead a memorable life.
Incredibly happy that we could celebrate with him today. He is by far the youngest 78 year old that we know and we enjoy having him around even if it is just to poke fun at him when he wears two different shoes to work. Happy Birthday Grandpa Cutes! The Heinisch family loves you!
