Breakfast gramps style

[BRZED]

My gramps woke me up at 5:00 am this morning. He wanted to hike up one of our local mountains and be aup there at sunruse. He had a light breakfast: Two burgers, fries with cheese sauce, homonion rings, potato chips, all homemade. On the way up to the summit he told me "Last one to reach the summit is a Mary." All the way down and back to the car he called me Mary. Paw Paw is now taking a nap. For the record, I had three scramled eggs, two slices of toast with butter and jam, and an apple for breakfast.

I think Gramps has a tapeworm....or three....

You are not the first to voice that concern. Gramps gets thoroughly examined twice a year and passes with flying colors.

He ate an apple for lunch and dinner is liquid. He will be 89 this month. He just went to bed. I suppose he's digesting his breakfast that he had at 6:00 am this morning.

God Bless your Gramps! Looks to me like he eats big early and very little later in the day so he burns off his breakfast and goes to bed on a fairly empty stomach. I'm guessing he's not overweight. Good for him. At his age, he has earned the right to eat what he likes.
