My dear Grandma turned 90 just before Christmas this past year. I have so many wonderful memories of getting together with cousins at her house, biking the quarter mile down the highway to play cards with her and get a chocolate chip cookie from the deep freeze. I still have that recipe, and it is unique to any other chocolate chip cookie recipe I have tasted. I can still taste it in my memory. I consider myself incredibly lucky to grow up near both sets of grandparents. For her birthday, all but one of my cousins, and every single great-grandchild, was able to make it back to celebrate with her!
The original family (minus Grandpa, who is in the nursing home):
with their spouses:
Grandma with her grandkids (minus the one):
...and with her great-grandkids. I'm sure there are more to come, but she already has a full quiver. :)
