After Abby was born, nobody had given a great deal of thought as to what the nicknames of her paternal grandparents would be. At the time, I still had (2) living grandmothers: Grandmommmie and Nana. So mom became Grammy, but dad was a bit more reluctant to come up with a name for himself.
While I don't know all of the details, apparently on some road trip, mom and dad noticed the personalized license plate, "Fuzzpa." Since dad has had a full beard and mustache since he left the Air Force, the name Fuzzpa seemed entirely appropriate and Abby enthusiastically adopted it as the name for her beloved grandfather. Dad is now Fuzzpa to us all.
So while dining at Provision Company on Holden Beach this summer, I noticed the license plate pictured above and knew it must be photographed in honor of dad. Although we don't know exactly what Fuzzpa meant to the driver of the car carrying the Fuzzpa tag, we think of our Fuzzpa as the one and only!
