On Sunday we spent the afternoon with my husband's grandmother~ Grandma Weidler (who officially is a great-great grandmother), was visited by her family and friends, as she celebrated her 90th year. She is a special lady~ one with a big heart, a lot of spunk and a ready opinion on
any topic, often of her choosing. Her advice topics cover hair styles, clothing and fashion, gardening, marriage, and raising children, just to name a few~ and you don't need to ask because if you need to be told about it, she'll tell you. Her children, grandchildren and great-grands have many stories to share about her~ some funny, some a little surprising, but in the end after Grandma tells a story, we all just smile, shake our heads and say "oh, that's Grandma for you!" She still sews and keeps busy, and although she no longer drives a car, you can sometimes catch her on her riding mower driving on the road to her sons' homes nearby. Every Christmas she makes me a beautiful wreath for our front door, and I can't bear to take it down come spring.
It was also a bittersweet day for me...what seems like a just few years ago, we celebrated my grandmother's 90th and I missed her terribly, as she definitely would have been there to wish Grandma W. a happy day~ so if you are lucky enough to have a grandma in your life, give her a hug and cherish every visit. I promise you won't regret it ;-)
