Today is my Nan’s 90th birthday.

My mum had organised a room at the local club and there was lots of balloons and streamers. My nan arrive by one of those fun wheelcahir taxi’s with my mum. And she got a good surprise becasue she didnt know that me and jenny came up, but also my nans only living cousin who is 88 also came with his wife. so my nan was very happy she got to see her only living cousin. THere was lots of food and rude coinversations between me and my nan.
My nan loves country music and my mum had hired some guy to come and play for her. a little strange only 7 of us all together plus one fella playing guitar, but he was good and nan had her feet tapping away in her wheel chair.
I really love my nan, we have always been such great buddies she was always taking me on fun advenrtues on trains and stuff. Little over night holidays in motels and stuff. She has always loved me so much and spoilt me.
Its hard seeing her a bit these days becasue she is so old and frail and her mind isnt as together as it used to be. So its a bit hard becasue she isnt the nan that she has always been, buut then again she is the same. she still loves me and loves it when i come and see her up here.

I dont think she will be around for heaps longer and that sucks. but lets celevrate while she nis still here. yay for my nan.
