Grandma O!

We went to Britton this past weekend to see my Grandma O. She is my Dad's mom and is in the hospital right now healing up from a broken hip over the 4th of July. She turns 90 in September and is still in amazing shape both mind and body! The doctors couldn't believe it when they took her into surgery. They only had to do a partial hip replacement because her socket was still in such good shape which is unheard of for someone her age! She still lives on her own up until this point and I hope she can still stay there once she recovers from her fall. (The picture to the left is at my baptism)

My Grandma is one of the most amazing women in this world, she raised 7 children with a 20 year span between them. She has 18 grandkids and 17 great grandkids, with a couple more on the way! She is one of the most supportive and calming people I know no matter what the circumstances and has an awesome sense of humor! I would be happy to be half the women she is, and every time I see her I just can't believe what she is up to. Whether it is taking the train to Washington or traveling some where, she never ceases to amaze me. I am so proud to be her grand daughter!
