Grandmothers 100th

My Grandmother Mary celebrated her 100th birthday last week and our entire family gathered to share in this very special time in all of our lives.  The remarkable event made me realize how special I am to have experienced such a milestone and to reflect  on how much of an influence she has on my life.  Being in her presence you immediately feel at home especially if you are the lucky one to recieve one of her beautiful knitted scarfs  or a  warm plate of her special chocolate chip cookies.  Her loving and gracious warmth she openly gives everyone, her kind heart and witty sense of humor are just a few of her many qualities I cherish and try to live by everyday of my life.
