Grandpa Rusty turns 90!

Ernest L. Sheldon...otherwise known as Grandpa Rusty, turned 90 years old!  What a blessing.  What an amazing man.  A medaled veteran, a former Lutheran school teacher and principal, husband, father of six, grandfather to many, and great grandfather to many many more...It all started here and what an awesome occasion to be able to celebrate his 90 years of life!  We had a great time getting together with some of my cousins that we hadn't seen in many years.  Charley spent most of the night keeping Grandma and Grandpa busy with her charming personality.  We had some fun hearing old stories and memories from the past, and Grant's contribution "I'm just glad he's alive" gave many of us a shocked under-our-breath chuckle.  Oh Grantster.
