Woot-woo! Today is National
Gorgeous Grandma Day! And let me tell you, I am lucky enough to have had three
beautiful grandmothers! Below is a picture of my Gramma (or Chez Gramma, as I
liked to call her). She passed away a few months ago, but man was she a babe
back in the day! Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of my other grandmothers
to share with you from when they were younger.
National Gorgeous Grandma
Day is a unique and wonderful day to celebrate, I feel. It’s not very often
that we take a moment to appreciate these special people. All three of my grandmothers
were talented in their own way (only one is still living). The grandmother
pictured above was an excellent crafter. She made teddy bears almost until the
day she died. She was very gifted in this sense and to top it off, she would
donate many of them to various charities and volunteer groups. To me, this is
what made her so beautiful – her kindness. My Mother’s ma, is still loving, and
she makes sandwiches every week for a local homeless shelter (something she has
done for 30 years!). She also donates to many charities, and is an excellent
baker. This makes her a beauty, on top of the fact that this woman was movie
star material when she was a teen! And, finally my Nanny (my father’s mother) -
she was a crazy Newfoundlander. She had the ability to make people laugh, and
was so welcoming. What’s more gorgeous than the ability to create laughter?! It
doesn’t take much to find the beauty of those around us…we just have to look
for it and acknowledge it! What makes your Grandma gorgeous? Click here
