I know that Xander will never forget his grandpa--kids have amazing memories.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4372728852428013111/8200547385382505034/comments/default/5759790079982073590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4372728852428013111/8200547385382505034/comments/default/5759790079982073590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.lettertoxander.com/2011/09/grandpa.html?showComment=1315272088204#c5759790079982073590' title=''/><author><name>Ginny Marie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14579981666900022792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14957738833027397276'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WFl--imHh3g/TSTUXYydPVI/AAAAAAAABc8/41LxDNNkAVw/S220/button%2B%25283%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.lettertoxander.com/2011/09/grandpa.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372728852428013111.post-8200547385382505034' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4372728852428013111/posts/default/8200547385382505034' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1273544626'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372728852428013111.post-610343969107069276</id><published>2011-09-05T17:55:33.686-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T17:55:33.686-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It isn&amp;#39;t fair, isn&amp;#39;t it?
