Sometimes I take photos and leave them sitting for months on my computer before I get around to looking at them. I was flipping through a bunch from December the other day and ran across a series of my Grandmother with Mark and Anna. They were sitting on the couch together and I was snapping frame after frame without paying too much attention what I was getting. I knew there would be at least few good ones in there, which there are. There are also a few surprises, since I don’t remember seeing Mark doing this at the time. When you’re 5, you can entertain yourself pretty much anywhere.I would have to say he comes by this talent naturally though.

101 years – can you imagine living so long? Even if you can, I doubt there are many people who have done so with the same vigor as Grandma. I am not exaggerating when I say I wish I could remember stuff as well as she does. She is a remarkable person and I am so glad she decided to spend the past few months up here, so that we were able to spend some much appreciated time together. We spent the afternoon yesterday with her and my aunt and uncle, which is when I took this pic with my droid. Grandma is homesick though, so tomorrow my cousin is taking her back home to North Carolina, where she still lives in her own house, next door to my other aunt and uncle. My aunt wrote down some of her memories to send to all of us and she included all of Grandma’s descendants: 3 children, 14 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren and 15 great-great grandchildren – 55 in all. I am privileged to be one of them. You might like this post that I wrote about both of my Grandmothers a few years back, when I had more time for writing. God bless and many happy returns, Grandma!
