I looked forward every 4th of July to Grandma and Grandpa Wells' boysenberry cobbler, as we watched the Citrus College firework's from their backyard.

Grandpa's hard work in his front and backyard gardens has inspired my own orange, lemon, and fig trees (those beetles that hung around their fig tree were huge!), in addition to my own boysenberry vines.

A long while ago, always vigilant, Grandpa noticed I had flipped upside-down in their pool in my float-tube...and there was no getting out (I was more "husky" in my youth).  I do not think anyone else but Grandpa noticed this.  Just before passing (out at least), he flipped me upright, laughed, continued drinking beer out of his mason jar, and moseyed back to the picnic table.  I do not think anyone else ever noticed, and I think this is the first time it has ever be brought up.

I think I was four or five at the time, but it stays with me.  Thank you Grandpa...see ya soon! :-)
