To my grandma...

Today is my Grandma's 91st birthday. Happy Birthday to my one and only!
{she's the best...you guys would like her}
She'd do cool things for us as kids like:
- take me to the toy store and buy me a new barbie with every visit
- make up bedtime fairytales and assure me that vampires did not live in her attic
- letting me play dress up and try on all her jewelry
- make me a snack upon request and it was generally something peculiar like peeled shrimp
- teach my brother and I how to play War and Go Fish!
- spoil us at Christmas time...every Christmas...still does!
- be the first to vote "yes" on any new idea I had...no matter how crazy it was
- dig up old pictures of our grandpa {her husband} from his swimming years to every odd job he took on in between
- babysit my brother and I for the weekend and she would tell us that we were going to throw a big party as my parents walked out the door
- last but not least...my grandma bought me a very memorable cassette that I had requested on my xmas list after my mother said "no" - and it was "Appetite for Destruction" GNR {awesome}
...for that and many other reasons - I ♥ my Grandma.
