Grandpa had some surgery the day before his birthday.
These two pictures are from the day of the surgery.
He got a little silly.

"I think Robert gave grandpa something between truth serum and laughing gas. Grammy and I laughed at Grandpa's stories until I thought we were going to cry! He kept saying that he just had to keep talking. He talked non-stop during my whole hour and a half visit! He hardly took a breath in between stories, and Grammy and I could hardly get any word in. He said his pain was at a '1', so kudos to Dr. Thomas. :-)
Lots of love!

"One more thing about the pictures . . . In the pic of Grammy and Grandpa, I asked them to look at me and smile and Grandpa wouldn't look. He said, "I am looking at her adoringly." Just wanted to make sure you got that caption. :-)"
Leland said -
"I wish I could have been there. It sounds like fun. It is a tribute to Dad/Grandpa that with the truth serum he is still happy and positive. It show what is in his core. I am sure if I got the truth serum I would not be so delightful!!!

Grandpa's surgery went well and he is recovering nicely.
Here's a picture of Leland Heywood, Grandpa's dad.
I thought I would give him a shoutout today since it is his birthday.
Fun facts:

We called him Granddaddy.
He was 40 years old when Grandpa was born, almost 41.
Grandpa was 40 years old when I was born.
Grandpa was born April 10, 1933.
I was born April 30, 1973.
So, how old are we today?

I'm going to be 41 years old on the 30th.
Granddaddy would be 122 years old today!!
We like to spread out the generations in the Heywood family.
