This past Saturday was my Grandmother's 80th birthday. I threw a "little ol' lady" birthday party for her at the assisted living home where she resides. Over 10 of her friends showed up from back home along with her son and his woman. Several of the residents partipated too- it was a great time! I had a birthday cake and lots of ice cream for all to enjoy. Needless to say, she was completely overwhelmed when folks kept showing up and approaching her to say their greetings and such. We all took turns telling our stories of how we knew her, when we met her and how much we love her. She just sat there with a grin on her face. It was a wonderful time...one side note- it was all fun and games until her son's woman announced that she was my Grandmother's daughter-in-law and that they were married a couple of weeks earlier- nice of them to drop that bomb on us in front of every one! You would think they would tell their family in private and not announce it at her birthday party!
The next day I picked her up, drove her back home and we enjoyed a grilled steak lunch with my Mom, her grandson and great-grandson. She has been telling me for a while now that she "hasn't had a steak in 20 years"... so we took care of that on Saturday.
What a great weekend for her! I just hope she can remember it later down the road...
