My
95, yes I said 95 year old Grandma came from Colorado for a visit. We had a huge picnic in the park with a bunch of my cousins and other family. When I say huge, I mean huge. My Grandma gave birth to and raised 11 kids! Many of them had big families as well. I have 50+ first cousins on that side alone. Needless to say she is a remarkable woman. Eleven kids would have killed me off by age 50, easy! She also is an amazing poet. She has written at least 500 poems in her lifetime. My Mom is currently working on the time/expense of having a book professionally published. It won't be available to the general public or anything, but all of us will have that keepsake. These are amazing poems too, not the dribble that one would read on my blog!
Grandma also has an amazing sense of humor. I always remember her laughing about something or another. I am sure it has contributed greatly to the length of time she has been on the earth. She has hundreds of these funny glasses. Usually she has a shoebox or so that she brings with her to any gathering. Whenever you get a picture with Grandma, you always have to get another one with the funny glasses. We wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, many of us have talked about how fitting it would be for each of her descendants to wear a pair of her funny glasses to her funeral. I don't think she would have it any other way, and she probably even has enough glasses for all of her descendants to wear a pair. Unfortunately the kids couldn't come because they were with their Mom that day. They did get a chance to talk to her on the phone though, and they were pretty excited about that.
