             A southerner, a drinker, a fouwl mouth, a grumpy old man, are phrases you'd probably use to describe my grandfather, but to me he has a heart of gold. A man who knows no strangers, that pretty much sums him up. He could talk to a person, which he just met for hours about anything and everything.
