102!

My grandma turns 102 today.

Almost nine years ago, she had a health scare and we weren't sure how much longer she'd have. Everyone made it a point to visit with her that year. She liked that just fine and continued being her cat-loving self, and I've managed to see her again at least yearly since then. In January 2020 (just after I was there for my mom's birthday party), she broke her hip and had hip replacement surgery and recovered surprisingly well. Amazingly, she made it through the pandemic without ever testing positive for Covid. We had a fun party for her 100th and she enjoyed all the great-grandkids and eating her cake. I didn't make it to WA in 2022 but was there at the start of 2023 and had a nice visit with her. Less than two weeks ago, she fell and broke her ankle. She's at a skilled nursing facility now and doing pretty well. I'm pretty sure she's invincible. :) 

Here's a picture of the two of us back in January of this year...

And here's one from 1979ish, just because...

Since it's hard to shop for someone who's 102, I just sent her candy. She has quite the sweet tooth (and all her own teeth still!). Hoping she has a fabulous birthday!
