Some quick amazing things about my grandma:
- She just turned 96.
- Has golfed a round of 9 holes of golf every week to this day except in bad weather.
- She has been married over 70 years!
- She sent me a card on every holiday with $2 dollars in it (Halloween, valentine's day, Columbus day -- she remembered them all).
- She is an amazing card player and gambler -- I was going to visit her this Friday. However, when I called Friday was Casino night. She bragged that she left with only $20. The free bus picked her up at the retirement home, paid for lunch and she wagged her fat gangster knot of cash in front of me of $450when she got back. Not a bad day at the casino for a 96 year old woman.
- She made us our favorite meal every birthday.
- Makes the worlds best Easter breakfast hands down.
- Had season tickets to the Oregon State beavers for 30 plus years , during most of their run of almost 3 decades without a winning season (That is where I get my loyalty and sports dedication).
- She made amazing peanut butter sundaes
- The doctor asked if she could cut back to 8 glasses of coffee a day -- she said no and maintains her 10 - 12 glasses of coffee a day.
