I'm honoring my Gma today. Sure, I've talked about her before here and here ~ both posts are full of precious memories and laughs.
This weekend, my entire family honored Gma.
As we should.
She turns 90 Thursday. NINETY! And she's sharp as a tack, full of spunk, and healthy to boot!
Here she is blowing out her candles on her cake, with the help of her great-granddaughters, of course!
(Sidenote: Seriously? May I please look as good as she does at 90? K, thanks.)
Our family's full of girls; there are six grandchildren - all girls. five great-grandchildren - 4 girls. We are just overrun with girls. We spent Sunday honoring Gma with a family dinner and reading poems, letters, and stories to Gma.
Here's the Fam (minus one cousin's hubby who took the photo)
One of our family traditions is to take a family picture, followed by a goofy picture. It's really funny to us! I don't think I've really appreciated this tradition until Sunday, though. While we were all crammed together for this picture, I could hear one young cousin say, "Now can I make a silly face?" before every picture! It made me smile to realize it's all he's ever known. . . the family's silly pictures!
And, since it's on Facebook for all the world to see, I guess I'll share it here, too! Ha Ha!!
Sunday I was reminded, yet again, just how blessed I am! Gma has taught all of us in the family so much about God's grace and love, either in her words or actions. And I love her for it!
And just because it's been a while since you've seen my precious Ellie. . . .
Who's touched your heart and life recently? Link up and tell us about her!

That was a great story! I love both photos! Just wonderful. You know what? I thought this was your current Titus 2 and came to link to it, couldn't figure out why Linky was closed. Anyway, I posted a Titus 2 post today (finally) and will check back later to see if you're here w/a post. Just love your new photos of you and Ms. Ellie, who is precious and growing up!
