Grandma's 94th Birthday


Today we celebrated my Grandma's 94th Birthday!  She still lives in her own apartment, as does her 98 year old sister in California.  She has an aide and two daughters that live locally (my mom included) help out daily as well.  Despite Alzheimer's, she still knows who I am.  She raised seven children through the Great Depression, World War II, and beyond.  

The "Weekend Challenge" over at Digital Photography School was to take a candid of someone.  I was across the room and Grandma heard my camera.  She looked up at me and smiled.  I can't think of a better subject to feature than Grandma on her 94th birthday.

  3. Lovely smirk on her face. Is that a sherry glass that is only half empty?

  4. LOL, actually, the glass contains non-alcoholic wine. She thinks it's the real thing. Alcohol and her medications aren't a good mix, and we prefer Grandma awake!
