Last week my Grandmother turned 72. Now, my grandmother is not your ordinary grandma! Oh, no! She is feisty and sassy, and loves to travel, shop, visit with her great grandbabies, fish and play practical jokes!
Normally, you can't get anywhere near surprising her, but this year.....we got her! We reserved the back room at the local Mexican restaurant, where she loves to eat....the spicier, the better! Anyway, normally she would have saw all our cars out front but not this particular night! God provided us with thunder and big time lightning and a torrential downpour, just for the occasion! So she couldn't see anything in the parking lot, and was hurried into the restaurant for fear of a lighting strike!....nothing like a little scare tactics to pull off a great surprise! (thankfully, she didn't break a hip!...or worse!) Anyway, she was surprised by probably 45 or so friends and family!
Now, for the fun part...the gifts! You see, my family...or at least certain members of it (my grandmother included) has a bit of an odd sense of humor. At any birthday party, wedding shower, or even at Christmas, underwear made from strange things, or with odd details most always appear. This day was no different! See what I mean:
So as you can see, she isn't slowing down any, even at 72!...Ahhh...there's nothing like a bunch of Baptists at a birthday party for the deacon's wife!Happy Birthday Grandmother!

My feisty Granny is 77 and still tends bar down at the local bar and grill! She works just a couple of afternoons a week and has a bunch of regular farmers and the like who come in. She keeps them in line and they treat her really well. Everybody knows "Grandma" at JC's!
I'm in awe . . . she's had two triple bypass surgeries and still does this! I hope that I fare the years half so well!

Oh my goodness....so funny!!! In our church, we alwys talk about when Baptists gather, there is always food. Your pictures bring a whole new aspect to the church ~ so funny!!!
Too cute. She's still a fun gal. Way to go. It's when you stop laughing that you start to get old.
The food is a baptist thing? When I was a new christian I went to a wonderful baptist church. I moved and now I go to Calorie Chapel! :) Let's talk about food, whoa man!
