90 & Going Strong

Grandma arriving at her birthday party in a 1920's model car.

Grandma Ruth turned 90 and we had a lovely time celebrating with her in her hometown of Cordele, GA.  For me personally, it was quite touching being able to be present with the family that I didn't know until young adulthood. And, I got to meet Uncle's, Aunts and cousins for the first time. Family is a big deal for Grandma Ruth and her birthday was a time for her family to celebrate this remarkable woman.

While working on this blog I was thinking how one would describe my grandmother, who at 90 is not showing many signs of slowing down.
