Re: My Awesome Grandma
Yes, she is awesome!
I am willing to bet that woman has seen a lot in her lifetime.

I wish I could get inside her head!
I am so happy I had the opportunity in 2010 to spend about a week at her house. At that time, she was still able to play Scrabble. She was not used to being beat, and I beat her. (She was still very good!) She accused me of cheating!! LOL!!
She had such a beautiful view of the ocean from her house. I am so fortunate to have been a part of this family. I wish I could have been around them more. (I was raised 1800 miles away from them.) But being there as much as I was was awesome. When my Grandma turned 96, she said "Four more years!" so, I hope she makes it to her next one.  She was put into a nursing home last year after her kids took care of her in her house 24/7 for a number of years. She doesn't speak much anymore. French is her mother tongue but she speaks English perfectly as well.

Re: My Awesome Grandma
She is truly an amazing woman! Wonderful that all 14 kids were able to help her celebrate her 99th birthday too! I can only imagine how big the extended family is with all the grandkids, and great-grandkids!

I don't know. I remember when she had 52 grandchildren, they said she had a full deck of cards (she loves playing cards...). I think there are 60 some or maybe even 70. Most of the 14 children had fairly large families. We have from zero (barren) to 7 children. Many had 4-6 so I have a bazillion first cousins. I have no idea how many great grandchildren...

Re: My Awesome Grandma
By the way, they are all Catholic except one Mormon and one trinitarian Pentecostal.
