Each year we gather at the family’s Lake of the Ozark’s cabin to celebrate Granddaddy Roe’s birthday. It is always fun to observe a birthday, and while we love the decorations and food, the balloons are our favorite. This year we also used this get-together as an opportunity to give Granddad his father’s day gift. We bought him a coffee table book on steam trains. As a boy, he rode the Union Pacific from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City to visit his grandparents. From that first ride, he began a life long interest in trains, which he now shares with his grandsons. Together, they reviewed every photo on every page, and he explained all about each different type of train.
