Granddaddy's Memories is a book about three wholesome, exciting, and sometimes mischievous adventures that Kayla and her siblings had as children with their lively grandfather, known to his grandchildren as Granddaddy.

The first adventure memory was a trip to the gravel pit in their Sunday clothes, where they rolled down huge sand hills. On their ride back to Granddaddy's home, they ended up finding a large, shallow hole the size of a small pond filled with muddy water from the rains in the gravel pit to play in, then having to be washed off by the water hose by their grandmother before they could leave.

The following adventure memory was a snow day when Granddaddy awoke early to make a homemade sled from his sawmill, saddled up his trusty horse, Sam, and hurried to pick up his grandkids for a fun day of riding on the sled up and down Beeson Drive covered in snow.

The next adventure memory is of a Saturday evening when Granddaddy went to feed the bear in the gravel pit. He had Grandmama and all five of Beeson grandchildren come with him, going up a large embankment in the gravel pit, searching for the bear, and the hilarious turn of events after-including a tumble down that large embankment for someone.
