I am currently up at my summer home with my mom, dad, grandmother, and aunt. My grandmother is going to be 81 in January(I think) and tonight she had a 6 inch sub from sub way, 4 chocolate chip cookes, 2 beers, a whiskey and seltzer, and a large slice of chocolate cake. Bless her heart she is going to die happy and she, at 81, is in probably the best shape out of all of us. She got up at 6 AM this morning and packed up her car and was on the road at 9 AM for the 2 hour drive up here and she is going to be up here for 10 days, 4 of that all by her self. She still lives in an apartment by her self and still drives(though not far anymore the summer home is a LONG drive for her).
I just wish I am like that at 80. Her mother lived to be about 94 before she went to be with the Lord and was the same way. It wasn't until 86 that we finally had to put her in an assisted living apartment and about 90 when we had to put her in a full nursing home.
Sitting on the screened in porch tonight got me thinking how much I have to admire about her. 80 years old and still going strong.
