Yay I'm 62 years old, which I hope to double (at least)! I'm having lunch today with Mallie and Nathanael (and Jonathan), and Mallie is also the star of my new tie! My grandpa-name is Papa Seeds, and the story of that name goes like this: about a dozen years ago my sons were toying with nicknames for me, like Pappy and Poppy, and from Poppy they settled on the wonderful option "Seeds." So when Mallie was born, I became Papa Seeds, and Beth (naturally) became Mama Seeds! The photo crafted into this tie was taken a few hours after Mallie was born.
