My Other Valentine

Roses are red,
Daffodils yellow,
Would you be my gal,
If I’ll be your fellow?

There is a great advantage to having only one granddaughter. She can be, and she is, grandpa’s favorite. Scholar and athlete. This gal is great. I love her.

Her favorite sport is water polo. She’s loved the water since she was a little gal, and with her determination, strength and energy, she does very well.

The above shots were taken during last year’s district tournament. I’m really looking forward to this years season, which starts next month.


In the fall, she is on the swim team. This last season, she was a co-captain.

Is her grandpa proud of her? You can bet your lunch on that and not go hungry!

Happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow.

  1. Aren’t grandkids just the greatest!
    I really miss mine. I don’t get to see them near enough.

  2. Oh, that is so sweet how you write about her as your “favorite”! And very cool that you go to her meets and polo matches–that means more to her than you’ll ever know. I wish my kid’s grandparents cared so. Good for you! Good for her! Good for you both!

    I love how you knew so much about the Farkels! Gees, you had me beat on that. I guess I was too young to remember the details–just that they were kinda wacky and all looked like the neighbor. You made my day!! 🙂

  3. YES! You fixed it, Chuck!!!!!! Yippeeeeeeeeee!

    Oh my, she is a real beauty. Look at the gorgeous color of her hair! Oy, I can tell just how proud you are of her, and boy does she deserve it. Water polo? Swimming? Wow!!!!
