Happy 96th!

Today, Richie's grandmother is 96! We had a special get-together yesterday here at our house for her. She is so sweet. She was like a little kid with her cake & gifts from the family. She talks about the 96 years of her life that have really gone by fast. It reminds me of the new song out by Kenny Chesney.."Don't Blink" (click the link to see the video)

I turned on the evening news
Saw an old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is"

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
wake up and you're twenty five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You might just miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
of fifty years is there in bed
and you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
Don't blink

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first"
Cause when your hour glass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth

Don't blink

This song is in honor of you "Gram"..we love you so much! xoxox
