how i learned about doris day, singing in the rain, and gone with the wind

every summer growing up i would stay with my grandma for a few days.

now, every time i think about her, i think of old movies (singing in the rain, anything bing crosby or doris day, shirley temple classics, and gone with the wind), lender's bagels, cheese and crackers, and push pops.

my grandma is such a sweet woman, and the only grandma i've ever known!

this year she turned 85.  85 years old! years filled with raising children, and watching grandchildren raise children of their own.  years of hard work and love.  years golfing, playing the piano, arizona summers, and friends.  years spent missing her husband, daughter, and son.  years teaching life lessons, and having impacts on many.

we got together over the break to celebrate her, and her life.

we sure do love you, grandma! Happy Birthday :)
