Wouldn't it be wonderful to live to see 90? My grandma, the one who got me started at the age of 6 with crafting, turned 90 years old yesterday! She is so inspiring to me for so many reasons. One thing I think we do wrong as a society is not value our elderly like we should. I have tried to learn as many lessons as I can from my grandma and also try to get her to share with me stories from her past as often as I can. I love sitting around knitting or crocheting with my grandma and letting her tell me about how she met my grandpa at a town dance when she was 16 and eloped with him, or how she had to leave her family behind when she left her home country of Canada and moved down here to the United States. My grandma lived through everything from the Great Depression to the death of her husband of 50 years, my grandpa. She's a remarkable lady and this post is dedicated to her awesomeness. Happy birthday grandma!
