This past weekend we celebrated my Granny's 90th birthday with a dinner with close friends and family at Mom and Dad's house. Granny is doing great for 90 and still is outside watering and getting all hot and dirty every day. Her memory is not so good these days but I guess by the time you are 90, some things are bound to not be as good as new. She just LOVES to rock Ainslee and is smiling and happy all the time. Granny is an amazing lady and we love her dearly. I could go on forever with great stories, but will let these pictures tell the story of the evening. I sure hope we have many more birthdays to celebrate with Granny. She was sick on Tuesday with what was likely a stomach bug, but it worried Mom and Uncle Ray so they decided to get her to the hospital. They ran lots of tests and they all came back good, which is a blessing. She spent the night for observation and sent her home with a heart monitor for 24 hours. She was told to stay inside and when Mom showed back up at her house to check on her, where was she? Outside dragging around water hoses! Mom mailed the monitor back to the doctors with a note that she didn't' follow orders so if there was a spike in heart rate it was because she was outside in the 110 degree heat the day after being so sick. You can't keep a good woman down, I guess. More power to her these days.
Doesn't she look great for a 90 year old lady? By the way, that is her natural brown hair-no dye needed! I have more gray than she does :)
Getting a little help from Mrs. Jewel Edge reading her cards.
The wild ones doing the chicken dance-it was rowdy with these kiddos.
I can only imagine what these two are saying.
Lots of help opening gifts.

Granny and Mimi. I pray I stay as close to Mom as she is to her mother. They are an inspiration for us all.
