Happy 100th Birthday Grandma!

Okay, I'm 2.5 weeks late on posting this, but I've had a lot going on... Blogging has gotten lost in the shuffle between school/work, soccer and t-ball practices, church activities, housework, and feeding the family. So, I'm going to attempt to catch up while I have a moment to just sit.

We went to Chicago the 13th-17th of August to celebrate my Grandma's 100th birthday. We had a great time together celebrating this huge milestone. We had family from Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Texas, and of course, Arizona. We had a little party at Grandma's new home in a little covered picnic area they have. It was great to see everyone again - I think it's been 5 years since we've all been together.

Grandma seemed to enjoy herself - and took a taste of the cake before it was even cut! But why not - she is 100, and I think she can do whatever she darn well pleases...

The last year has been hard on her, but she continues to do fairly well. As long as she has her oxygen on she remains sharp. She remembered David, and couldn't believe how much the kids had grown since her last birthday.

It was a special time for me, because it gave me a chance to visit with her and tell her good bye and how much I love her before she goes to her everlasting home. She did say she didn't think she'd have another birthday, but one never knows what the Lord has planned...
