In September, my Grandma Mary turned 98. She was born in1912!
We celebrated with her special day with family.
I spoke with my Aunt today to see what my Grandma "needed" for Christmas. What does a 98 year old woman need? I don't want to give her more "stuff". So, we decided that what she enjoys most is spending TIME with us! So, we have set a date near Christmas when the kids and I will go over to her home for a brunch. I am also going to have the girls paint canvases for her! They're really good at that. :)

What an amazing woman and what an amazing life she has lived. Currently, she has no major health problems - just hearing loss and she can't speak very well anymore. Just expected stuff at this point in her life.
Here's to hoping she makes it to 100!
Aaawww! I love Grandma Mary. I have very fond memories of her giving me cherry tomatoes every summer, and now Aunt Karen brings them to me when she sees me at Mom's house. I love you guys, ty
