100 Blog Entries....

Happy Memorial Day!

This weekend has been a ton of fun full of great memories of a wonderful woman. We celebrated my grandmother's life. She was a wonderful woman who had 5 great accomplishments. Now, hopefully I can remember them all...there was
1) Marrying my grandfather.
2) Having 5 beautiful children which include my dad. :)
3) Writing an article about a institution where boys were badly mistreated. This article helped major political figures close the institution.
4) Helping an awesome woman find a home in the United States who lived in Jamaica. She made it so easy for her family to come live in the USA after she moved here.
5) Helping her sister adopt her daughter back when my parents were married.

What a wonderful woman. She did many things which I loved. She had a wonderful garden in the back of her house. You could walk out there and the smell of the many flowers hit you. It was a wave of flowers. The garden was decorated with statues and bird baths. It was simply lovely to just sit out there and smell the flowers without putting your nose directly to them.

She wrote 3 books on how to play bridge and teach it easily. She was a wife to a great preacher. She was my grandmother.

She was 96 years old when she went on to be with our Heavenly Father. She is now sitting up there with my Grandfather and aunt.

We celebrated her this weekend and enjoyed lots of family stories. We also were able to see everyone in her immediate family. What a glorious weekend.

Another note! I can't believe I have 100 Blog Entries! Who knew I would ever get there! Hope there are 100 more....though they may or may not come more slowly than the last 100.

I hope you and your family are having a wonderful Memorial Day.

:-)
