My Grandmother turned 80 today
She is on intermittent oxygen and still drinks scotch and water on Friday and Saturday nights. She completes every crossword puzzle and jumbo she starts and she wears chanel 5. Her and my Grandfather, who is 85, are very left leaning. I have a lot of fun disussing politics and current events with them. My mother, sister, and my aunt took my grandmother to the mountains for an overnight gambling trip. Tomorrow we are gonna suprise her with a party at my aunt's house complete with cake, ice cream, helium balloons, streamers, etc. It's going to be a lot of fun. Here is my grandmother with my grandfather.

1. Everyone in that photo is wearing the same color shirt.
Your Grandparents have been kidnapped by a cult! Save them!

Happy birthday to your grandmother:party:

5. Please wish her a happy birthday from me as well
My grandma just turned 92 a while back, and is in incredibly good health, and still living on her own. The sweetest woman you will ever meet.

We should put grandmothers in charge of politics throughout the world, imagine how much better life would be.
