My Awesome Grandma
 

I know I've shared pictures before of my awesome Grandmother. Here she is at her 99th birthday party with all of her 14 children!! Is that awesome or what??

Yes, she is awesome!

I am willing to bet that woman has seen a lot in her lifetime.

I wish I could get inside her head!

I am so happy I had the opportunity in 2010 to spend about a week at her house. At that time, she was still able to play Scrabble. She was not used to being beat, and I beat her. (She was still very good!) She accused me of cheating!! LOL!!

She had such a beautiful view of the ocean from her house. I am so fortunate to have been a part of this family. I wish I could have been around them more. (I was raised 1800 miles away from them.) But being there as much as I was was awesome. When my Grandma turned 96, she said "Four more years!" so, I hope she makes it to her next one. ;) She was put into a nursing home last year after her kids took care of her in her house 24/7 for a number of years. She doesn't speak much anymore. French is her mother tongue but she speaks English perfectly as well.

She is truly an amazing woman! Wonderful that all 14 kids were able to help her celebrate her 99th birthday too! I can only imagine how big the extended family is with all the grandkids, and great-grandkids!

I don't know. I remember when she had 52 grandchildren, they said she had a full deck of cards (she loves playing cards...). I think there are 60 some or maybe even 70. Most of the 14 children had fairly large families. We have from zero (barren) to 7 children. Many had 4-6 so I have a bazillion first cousins. I have no idea how many great grandchildren...

By the way, they are all Catholic except one Mormon and one trinitarian Pentecostal.
