this saturday night, we celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday....isn't that amazing? she has been very healthy, still drives and has more energy than a lot of us!
i grew up going to her and my grandfather, Pap's house and playing dress up, war, you name it with my 10 cousins. she and my grandfather would take all of us to their mountain house every year and we would build forts all week then the last night, they would wake us up in the middle of the night (it was probably 9pm for all we knew) and we would put on war paint and cammo and all hell broke loose. girls against boys and whoever "took over" the others fort won. i don't know many grandparents today that would take all those kids away for a week without any help...but this woman also threw a christmas dinner every year seating about 80-100 all using her own china. for reals. i have a panic attack serving 8! ;-)
cheers to you grammy, happy 90th!
