Last year my entire family and several hundred good friends gathered in Eastern Washington to celebrate Grandma’s 95th birthday and today I am thrilled to say we can wish her a happy 96. Her feisty spirit, good heart and caring personality have carried her through a life full of twists and turns with both beauty and grace.
Keep your chin up and keep smiling Grandma, we love you!

Lisa,
Thank you so much for doing this for mom! I’ll share this with her. She’ll be tickled. She plans to spend this afternoon in the recreation room at Riverton watching the Seahawks in the Super Bowl and sharing the remaining half of her chocolate birthday cake with the folks at her table at dinner. We took her out to lunch and took care of the first half of the cake. Debbie was in charge of the cake, so you can imagine how chocolatey rich it is.

Such a great idea, Lisa! That is a lovely picture of her. Back in June I used a picture of grandma wearing a hula outfit for a “daily prompt” on costumes: http://growthandpossibilty.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/travel-theme-costume/. It’s another one of my favs, in that it so nicely captures one of her many gifts — bringing some fun and sunshine with her wherever she goes!
