Weekend in Pictures: Part 2 - Introducing DeeDa

I have a tractor. My dear grandfather DeeDa (Nonna's husband) gave it to me. He has resided in Heaven since 2004. I love him dearly. I miss him everyday, and I still get those stinging tears in my eyes. I have them now, so that is all I have to say about that. Here he is:
Here we are on the tractor in 1976:
It is an International Harvester Farmall Cub that is about sixty years old. Saturday Mr. Lipstick went to get it and bring it home to me. It took about 12 hours round trip. JBB went with him and is currently involved in Operation Spoiled Rotten at grandparent's house. Here they are riding my most prized earthly possession:
Thank you, Mr. Lipstick. I love you.

I had a Papaw that would ride me around on his riding lawnmower. I know I sound younger than you, but it was a bit older than you were when I got to ride. Now my son gets to ride on my dad's lawn mower. That is what making memories is all about. Cherish them forever! :) I totally understand about your Dee Da!

Awwwww... He was such a sweet, sweet man... Always a kind word and a sweet smile. Looks like you've gotten yourself a sweet guy as well. That's awesome he went to get that tractor for you! My kids love going out to mom and dad's... They love driving the tractor and riding in the bucket...
