Grandpa Glen

We took advantage of an unplanned day today and drove to Bartlett, Illinois (about 50 minutes from Rockford) to go visit Todd's Grandpa Glen.  He's had some health problems recently, but is maneuvering pretty well with the help of a walker.  His mind is still very sharp and witty, which makes for some comical conversations between he and Todd - mostly about the Cubs versus the White Sox.

We went to his favorite restaurant for breakfast, which is less than 5 minutes from where he lives.  The staff there clearly knows him well and enjoys giving him a hard time about everything.  One of them even wrote on the name tag on his walker - it says "The Worst Customer."  Glen enjoys it and dishes it right back!
