On her 92nd birthday, my parents took her out for dinner that day, and she had a glass of wine. She's decided that since it enabled her to sleep until 9:30, 4 hours longer than usual, she's going to start drinking more.
I'm 92, she says, I can become your alcohlic Grandmother if I want to.
Yes, Grandma, you can be an alcoholic if you want to!
Highlights from trip home to Ohio in May of 1997:
Those people may be short, but they sure can talk!
She must have video eyes. (Said in response to my winning hands of Gin)
Your friend, is she Italian? No Grandma, she's Chinese.
Other Great quotes from my Grandma:
You can't swim in the nude!
You can't swim in your panties, either!

What ever happened to that boy with the hat?
My Grandma was born in 1905. Her birthday was on Novenmber 12. She was 92 years old, only 8 years away from having her picture put on the Today Show.
But she doesn't want to acheive such fame!
I'm not going with Willard!, she says.
I have to respect that
She is also my hero, and always will be.
In June of 1997, Grandma broke her hip and spent 2.5 weeks in the hospital. When the social worker came in to tell her about the local nursing homes she could move to, Grandma said "I'm not going there. Those people drool at dinner. I'm going to my house" And she did, she's been at home since July 3. She never ceases to amaze me!
Stay tuned for additional quotes from Grandma!
