Gram is 93 !!!!

Happy Happy Birthday to my wonderful grandma !!!

 today we celebrated with gram as she embraced her

93rd birthday. She is such a great woman, who I love dearly. And the only thing she really doesn't like at this point in her life, of which she say is blessed beyond blessed, it going to bed alone.

How many people at 45 years old can say they got to spend of the night at grams house ..

I can and that I did. We had a ball, dinner with gram, my brother and I ...

lots of laughs and lots of rules. But  ..wow what a treat ..

I do believe that I'm the one who's blessed ...

Gold ... 1st Place ... Beach Champions for  Boys U12 in Copa 1 & Copa 2...
