90 years- The secret is in… Pizza and Beer!!

Last weekend my husband Dave and I traveled “home” to the Pittsburgh area for one very special occasion, My Grandma’s 90th surprise birthday party!

Normally you may think, is it smart to SURPRISE a 90 year old woman? Well, when it comes to my Gram she is as tough as nails. My Dad’s mom is the only grandma that Dave and I have still on this Earth and she is amazing. She still lives at home alone, loves going out to the casino, nascar races, The Steelers, cooking and going out for pizza and beer (I’m convinced that this is the secret to living to 90). The party that my Aunt planned was a huge success and a lot of fun. Gram was totally surprised and we all got to see family that we do not get to see very often and re-connect! 90 years on this Earth is a long time and she is so blessed to be healthy and happy. We are all equally as blessed to have her still with us! One of her birthday presents was her old diary that was found when her sister passed away last year. She is so excited to sit and read the diary and re-live those moments that happened so long ago. Also, Everyone contributed photos of her and the family. My cousin and his wife put together an amazing photo album for her. The album also consists of post cards from the various cities that family now lives in.

This weekend she is off to the Poconos for a Nascar race with my Aunt and cousins!
