Congratulations greatgrandpa :-)

As the leader of that clan you should create a new rule that once
grandchildren reach 6ft tall they
have to cook all the holiday meals. Grandchildren under 6ft tall can
busy themselves filling greatgrandpa's glass.

Wow, big baby! I became a grandma on March 10th for the first time, but he
was a wee one, weighing only 5 lbs, 2 oz. He's now over 7 lbs and doing
great.

Congratulations to great-gramp-and-grandma.

That's a lot of descendants, and big ones, too!

Maybe holidays should morph into potlucks?

Congratulations to you and all the family, George.
I'm still a few up on you with 28 descendants. But, with some of them
too far away to make it for holiday meals, the most we've had here in
the last couple of years was 16 if I bremember rightly. Only 11 this
past Easter but it took me a week to recover from that so I know I'm
getting old.

Congrats George!!!!! Better throw a few extra seeds in the garden this year

Why am I thinking of a reference to slaughtering a fatted calf?

I'm five foot eight, Miz Anne is five foot six, daughter is five foot
four, her first husband was five foot ten. Where did the genetics for
all these huge kids come from. I may need to speak with my daughter.<G>

I have uncles over six feet tall, Miz Anne has brothers that are huge,
so I guess all those genes combined in my daughters children.

I reckon I might should put up a lot of veggies, jams, and jellies this
year, just in case several of them show up at once.

Last Thanksgiving the clan ate a 20 lb turkey, an 18 lb ham, a sack of
Irish potatoes and another of sweet potatoes and then wanted snacks.
There goes the retirement fund.
