Can You Count to 90?!!?

Each year, Flag Day is much more than a celebration of the stars and stripes for us. Special as this is.

It also happens to be my grandmother's and my hubby's birthdays.

This is a big one for my nana, who turned 90 a few days ago. The grand-kids and great grandchildren are spread out right now, but we're planning something special for a fall reunion of sorts to celebrate.

Meanwhile, my mom has been in New Hampshire for weeks helping Nana move from her condo to an assisted living apartment. It's been quite a journey, and a huge reminder of the beauty, aggravations, sadness and joy of aging. Of losing independence and memory--and owning it.

We love you Nana Kay. Happy 90th!
