Grandparents

I am very fortunate to have two wonderful grandmothers. My MeMe(mom's mom) is a energetic 76 year old who can still get on the floor and roll around with her great grandbabies. She has such an upbeat personality that she can light up any room! My Grandma M. (dad's mom) is a 90 year old who is one of the most inspirational woman I know. She has endured many hardships in her lifetime, but yet has the strength to get up everyday and enjoy another blessed day! My Grandma M. has the tradition of cooking dinner for every new parents in the family. This is her one on one time with that great grandchild and her grandchildren. Now, this is no small feat. I have quite the large family (my dad has 10 siblings) and she is continues to do this at 90! Finally, Kevin and I were able to make a trip to Okarche together to have our special meal! It was so delicious. The menu consisted of fried porkshops, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, homemade bread, homemade jam and homemade chocolate pie! Everything was spread out on beautiful china! What a special memory!
