Grandpa Todd

My dad and the kids Grandpa Todd was quite smart and it seemed to me to have came from a pretty well to do family. Were only three children in his family, two boys and a girl.  The house that I grew up in was his family home and very beautiful in its heyday.   I hope to get more info on his father who was a photographer and did very well in those days. The home was a beauty with large rooms and grass and lovely in its heyday!  He turned it over to my dad but my dad never kept it up.
 From some of the kids I heard our dad liked to memorize poems and one of them was titled....
"Lady of the Lake."  I plan to see if I can find it from a relative. Would love to read it. Heard he loved to sing also and a funny song he sung was "Sweetly sings the Donkey."
                       Seems as I remember he was a guy that could easily entertain himself .....

"Sweetly Sings the Donkey"

By Author Unknown
Sweetly sings the donkey
At the break of day,
If you do not feed him
This is what he'll say,
Hee haw, hee haw, hee haw, hee haw, hee haw!           
He often was happy if saw me singing while doing my chores.
.....funnyhuh!


Hope to add picture here later of my dad.
