Today is my Grandma's birthday...she turned 92! She's an amazing woman, she's still living on her own and other than not driving, very independent. She doesn't like to ask anyone for help...very stubborn...runs in the family!
She's a huge sports fan...loves the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs...no, I'm not kidding! She watches all the games, no matter how late they go. In fact, tonight when I called her to wish her a happy birthday, she was watching the Leafs game. They just happen to be playing the Bruins, my favourite team. We joked about who was going to win.
I think my brother and I get some of our competitiveness from her. Whenever we all get together we love to play Scrabble...and we all want to win! Gram gets quite perturbed when somebody takes her spot on the board! She still loves to do puzzles, play cards, do needlework and everyday she does the crossword in the paper.
I hope I have half her spirit and zest for life when I'm her age...or even half her age!!
