Granny B Turns 90!!!!

Born March 17, 1916

A Wonderful day was had by all, especially grandma.

My mother and her brother got together to host an open house, granny didn't want anything at first, fussing, then got used to the idea to where she began to let her likes and dislikes be known - much to the frustration of my mother. It turned out to be all wonderful and mom did a great job!

Old friends, neighbors, church members, old boy scouts (now 70 themselves) and family celebrated her day. I heard a lot of I knew you when you were just this high, it was fun.

It was great for all us kids, we were seeing our cousins and 2nd cousins for the first time for some it had been 20 years.
We have all grown up and turned into unique fun different people than we all remembered back as kids. It was fun getting to know each other again for which we did later that evening over pizza, beer and wine.

Granny had this great outfit she was going to wear - we loved it and though she didn't wear it to her open house, we got her to wear it to the family get together - it was a hit! Gauze tiered green skirt (which she said felt sleazy cause it was all wrinkled) and the t-shirt - simply saying 'Green Eyed Hottie'. She went around to the family saying, ever seen a 90 year-old hottie? Now you have! - lol I love my granny.

Leaning in the doorway watching my grandma put on her makeup, meticulously getting ready and chatting like a school girl about lipstick., blush, her hair, the way her dress rides up in the back I understood at that moment age sometimes is only a state of mind.

She was going to her party, and she was going to look her best - she was beautiful!
