Surprise Party!

We celebrated my sweet grandmother's 90th birthday when we went to Tennessee in November. It was a surprise party and I'm certain she was surprised! We had a great time watching her enjoy this special time with family.

After she opened her gifts she gave her trademark wave as I call it. A few years ago I was able to spend the night with her in the hospital as she recovered from hip surgery. Neither of us slept much that night. I was on a fold out chair most of the night at the end of her hospital bed. It was difficult for her to talk so she would raise her head up every once in awhile and look around for me and then smile and wave. I waved back. We did this throughout the night. Just one of the things I'll always remember.

Wendolyn has been a wonderful sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother over the last 90 years. She is a prayer warrior for her family. She is strong yet gentle. She can take jokes and give them right back. And she is my Granny.
