I have a grandson. His name is Dalton James ... or D.J. for short. He is fun to play with. Dalton will be four in August 1999.

At times he is quite a "hand full ." His mom, Paulette, had the following to say about him in her 1998 Christmas letter.


Dalton loves anything to do with cowboys. Garth Brooks and Shania Twain are his favorite singers, but he likes any "cowboy music." He wears his boots, bandana, and hat with anything from jeans to sweats to skivies. His other favorites are horses, dinosaurs and Batman. If he's not in boots, he's in a Batman mask. He loves to wrestle and play football. He's a loyal Vikings fan, except one day he wanted to get me riled and declared he liked the Packers. Well, he has since been set straight on THAT. (Go Vikes!)

Dalton also likes going to Grandpa Dave and Grandma Mary's farm to play with Grandpa's computer and their new dog, Bandit. He loves to talk on the phone and is an excellent conversationalist. He's very smart if I do say so ... We have our struggles, since he's definitely three, but we've reached an agreement: I'M the boss, but HE'S the center of the universe :-) .
