100 Years Young


Grandma is 100!!

Some highlights from the Bash:

*My cousin (she was Police Chief of Arlington) contacted Gma's old student (she taught at Washington and Lee), Warren Beatty and he sent her a picture and a note.
*DVD of photos of her life by my sis, Mary
*Delicious food
*Stories
*Crossword puzzle about her
*Boo singing "My Favorite things" (she only practiced for 2 days before!!)


Gma always taught me when you celebrate birthdays in your aging years you just switch the numbers: i.e. 63=36, 93=39. You can't do that with 100 so, Grandma, you're going to have to accept that you've made it to a century!



Hopefully some day I can be the type of anchor she is to my own family.

Julie she is amazing, no wonder Mary wanted her to sing so bad in our ward. She will love that when she is older.

What a little performer:) Reminds me of her mother. How cool to have a family matriarch such as your Grandma, Jules:)
