Grandma had her birthday yesterday!! Because they travel like rock stars, they were out and about at Grandpa's Senior Amateur tournament (where he kicked everyone's bootys). Besides Grandma being the best shopping partner EVER (I'm serious, I get more compliments on the shoes SHE picks out), she also is an amazing wife, mother and grandmother. She always makes sure to call you and ask how everything is going and even though she lives all the way in South Carolina, she still makes sure to make it back to every important family milestone.
How old are you? 67
How many brothers & sisters did you have? 7
Favorite memory from the farm- picking the first ripe tomato in the summer
What is your favorite hobby (can not be golf)? yard work now, sewing 30 years ago
Proudest moment- kids, grandkids and Reagan being born
Who is your favorite granddaughter? Ashley, surprise surprise!!!!
3 things people might not know about you-
1) that I am captain of the Carolinas/Virginias team matches
2) Past President of South Carolina Womens Golf Association
3) I will let you pick this one (OKAY! ...but I can't decide on just one....)
- She is the only one out of her 7 siblings that has a full middle name, they got to name her!
- She made all of the flower arraingments for my wedding!!!
- I am middle named after her- Christine :)
- She's still got sexy legs!
- One time we were at an Applebee's in Kentucky and were looking at all of their decorations on the wall to kill time before we got seated. What do you know but we find a picture of her and her old high school cheerleading squad, right above the entrance door!
- I envy her year-round tan.
- Her and my Grandpa dropped everything and drove all the way to Illinois (in the middle of winter) as soon as they heard Reagan was coming. They stayed for almost 2 weeks afterwards to lend a hand. She knew exactly when to help me out, even when I was a stubborn butt and thought I could handle everything!
- Things I have mentioned before but that are worth repeating- she is so crafty. I think she has made all of the drapes in her and my moms house. Now I am recruiting her for mine. Also, she has the best design sense. And she taught my mom and I everything we know when it comes to basically savvy shoppers... design on a dime! And she is THE best golfer South Carolina has ever seen, period. She's even famous, we were shopping one time (no, get out) and a lady came up to us and started talking about how wonderful my grandma is at golfing and how she keeps track of the things she's done... Grandma had no idea who she even was! I am not joking, I felt cool just by association.
