happy birthdy grandma

We've been having lots of birthdays around here, and we're not done yet! Today is my grandma's birthday! This is a picture taken last November, the first time my grandma laid her eyes on me. See how happy I made her? When grandma was a teenager, she worked for a rich family and cooked their food. She got some great recipes from them (so says Motch but how would I know because I don't get any good food except for wallymelon and carrots). This family had a dog who was a boston terrier named Ricky. Grandma loved Ricky and has always had a special place in her heart for bostons because of him. Do you know what her favorite story is about Ricky? Whenever she told him he was a bad boy, a tear rolled down his eye. I guess he didn't like to be scolded.

Grandma looked me over real good while I held very still. I had to make sure she approved of me.

She did! And we've been friends ever since. I really like to go to visit my grandma because she collects bears and they are all over her house. I can snatch the ones on the floor and run away with them and chew them! Grandma doesn't even get mad at me.

I love you, Grandma, and I hope you have a very happy birthday!
