This is what 99 looks like.
Yesterday, May 30, was a beautiful day for celebrating the beautiful 99 years (and many more?) of my grandmother.
6 children, 18 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren, and 10 great, great grandchildren. So far.
To me, "Love and Prayers" sums up my grandmother. She signs every card with those three words. She makes every quilt and afghan and doily and everything else with those qualities. She has been known to say that she has made it through life with just love and prayers.
I look up to my grandmother and value the time God continues to give us with her.
So it was a privilege to celebrate her corona style with people parades...
car parades...
banners...
and music.
Victor was the self-proclaimed videographer for the occasion.
We have some great videos of the musicians' knees.
She had a list of her favorite songs.
We got through as many as we could.
Of course, "Because He Lives" is at the top of the list.
But maybe we shouldn't have given her so many flowers. Her living room was starting to look like a funeral parlor.
Well, she has always said that she thinks it would be better if we honored people by telling them how we feel about them while they are alive instead of at their funerals.
And the "99" balloons that ended up in the tree,
will be her daily reminder that she is loved.
Of course, depending on the wind, she could be "6" or "9" or "66" or...
