Gram's 96th Birthday

Just a personal note, my beloved Grandmother turned 96 this past March. We had a party and many of the family were there. It is amazing how one person can remember all the names of her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren especially at her age.

Everyone had a great time seeing Gram and visiting with family we hadn't seen in awhile.

It is always good to see family you haven't seen in along time. It seems like we get so wrapped up in our own lives, we don't keep in contact as we should. It is also hard when there are so many. There is a saying for some families "We only get together for funerals and weddings".

During the past year, we have been keeping tabs on each other. Facebook has become very important in keeping communication open between the different families. I love facebook for this reason.

When asked what my grandmother wanted for her birthday she said "A party, with all the family that could come"

At 96 she still wants to party. She still has a smile on her face from her party.
