Badge, your grandpa reminds me much of the main character from "The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climed Out the Window and Disappeared" by Jonas Jonasson, have you read it?
Sounds like he was good fun. I like that you chose to celebrate his life on that day, it's such a positive approach and I'm sure he would've liked that a lot!
Now I'm gonna do some reading about st Patrick's day. It's not a thing here so I don't really know anything about the historical background or any traditions involved.
Have a great Friday everyone and an even better weekend! Anyone having any fun plans?
