Grandma-ma

I am going to share with you a very special lady in my life, whom I love so much. She is and always will be one of my favorite people. I call her Grandma-ma and she is my great grandma. She celebrated her 89th birthday this January and there is really no other woman quite like her. Grandma-ma is not your average Great Grandmother...she has always been super outspoken and continuously makes everyone around her laugh. A few key things about Grandma-ma are; she is very loving, if you met her once in your life, I can probably guarantee you she says a prayer for you before she goes to bed every night (she prays for the living and the deceased, I have never heard a prayer list as long as hers), she has a huge obsession with playing cards, and she swears like a truck driver! no joke either. She is the same woman who would take out her dentures and put on a shower cap and come downstairs before bed just to make us all laugh! When I was younger she would sometimes come over for a night and I remember my brother and sisters and my friends would all want to come over as well...just because they all loved her and we would all crack up and play cards with her. She is a pretty spicey old lady if you ask me! My family basically has our own personal 

Betty White, but cooler!

Here is a little video clip I took of her singing a couple summers ago...

To say the least, I truely enjoy her company and visited her a couple weeks ago like I always do. I brought her lunch, Taco Bell, her favorite and we played our usual card game, Fifty. This time I made it a point to take a couple of photos of her! 

 Playing cards with her....she beats me everytime!

 She concentrates and has in depth conversations with herself!

 That is what hardworking hands look like after 89 years...

I hope to be as awesome as she is, when I am that age!

To know her is to love her!
