TToT: 97 Things of Thankful!

Just a quick post today--a post that should have gone up yesterday--to wish my grandma a wonderful 97th birthday!



I wrote a bit about Grandma here.  

 I'm thankful for each of Grandma's 97 years, and I'm totally counting this as a Ten Things of Thankful post!

    Happy birthday to your lovely Grandma! What a beautiful photo of three generations. I definitely think celebrating her 97th birthday counts as ten things of thankful all in one!

    You should absolutely be thankful! My Grandmother passed at 96 when I was just really getting to know the real her, you know her real stories. I miss her a lot, sadly she wrote everything down in french, and in chicken scratch. Someday I hope to meet someone who can read French chicken scratch.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
