A Very Special Day

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

Today is a very special day in our house.  Mommy's Grandmother Graves was borned on December 13, 1893.  She would've been 115 years old today!  DANG!

She never feeled that she was old enough to be called "grandma" so she had our mommy and her big sister call her "Mom-Mom".  Mom-Mom and our mommy was good friends.  She teached mommy how to do lotsa things...knittin', crochetin', paintin' and all kinds of crafty things.

We have a lot of Mom-Mom's stuff in our house.  They are called "anteeks".  We ain't allowed to go near 'em...at least when mommy is lookin'. 

We always do somethin' special in honor of Mom-Mom on December 13.  Mommy says that tonight we will git Temptations and Nip.  Dang...life. is. good.

Happy birthday, Mom-Mom! 

Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang
