I am not even sure how I have made it to 35
never mind another 60 years
but today we celebrated a milestone with my Nana
she really doesn't look a day over 70
she smokes (and has off and on for many years, I think she figured once she hit 90 what damage could it do and started up again after an approx. 20 year break)
and drinks whiskey (just a titch, wink, wink)
and for the most part is in great health
she can still kick my arse in Scrabble
it has been my thing this year to list adjectives for every birthday year
95 seems daunting
but I have a few days...her actual birthday isn't for another couple of days
so I will see what me and the thesarus can come up with.
Today was great for her though, we had over 70 people from her lodge, family and friends come out today to celebrate with her.
Even at 95 she could still blow out her birthday candle.
this picture was taken today at her party - I really like this one, its different, but nice to have a candid shot where the person is not staring straight at the camera and I think she looks very happy.
ps - the cake(s) were scrumptious and I did indulge in a piece(or two). Funnily enough the cake in the above picture is identical to the cake we had for her 75th Birthday - I joked with my mom it's like we just scraped off the "7" and put a "9" - another irrelevant but yet I found it interesting tidbit was that I was almost the same age as Shelby (16 - just off by a couple of months) when we celebrated Nana's 75th birthday as she is today when we celebrate Nana's 95th!
