Happy Birthday Grandma!

My Grandma Crow is 89 today and this is for her.

These are the things I love about Grandma:

• When I stayed at her house, she let me choose the room upstairs that I wanted to sleep in and I could even sleep in the crib if I chose it (I was smaller then).
• She had a cool old cash register in the closet that we could play with whenever we wanted.
• She also had a real wheelchair in her garage that all the grandkids LOVED to push each other in.
• In Grandma's basement was an old Victrola that played records to which we danced.
• Grandma let me take long baths and I could use the bubble bath that was shaped like a long skinny blue cat.
• Sometimes, Grandma took us to the Beauty school and let us get our fingernails painted and our hair curled. We looked SO beautiful!
• During Rodeo week, Grandma bought us cowboy hats and we got to go to a parade.
• After spending afternoons at the pool, sometimes Grandma would take us to Wendy's to eat.
• When I stayed at Grandma's alone, she would fix my hair before church and tell me how pretty I looked.
• Grandma always had Froot Loops in the closet and I could eat them for supper if I wanted.
• Grandma had a big dog, Tuffy (which was actually my cousin, Nicole's) and lots of cats. I loved those cats.
• On Grandma's Christmas tree, she always hung an ornament that had two twin Indian babies laying in a papoose.

Thank you, Grandma, for loving me and for making my childhood a happy place--a place full of comforting memories and sweet words from you.

I love you!
