Our favorite person on the planet...soon to be 97
This is my grandmother who will be 97 in Spetember. Her mind is sharper than mine. She regales her great grandchildren with so many wonderful stories from her boat trip to America in 1918, the things she did to attract my grandfather in the summer of 1927, the way she and my grandfather saved money to bring so many family and friends and friends of friends over from Germany before it was too late.
Her chicken soup is legendary as are her baking skills and while she is nowhere near as fast as she once was, we all love watching her zip around corners and zoom down the straightaways with her walker.
Whenever a family trip is being planned, it must always include a stop in California where she lives. This is a non-negotiable mandatory as set forth by my kids who can't get over how "with it" and fun she is.
I'm not sure how much longer she has but every single second with her is a magnificent thing.
