Happy Birthday Nanna

My maternal grandmother [Nanna] was a big influence on my life. Today is the 100th anniversary of her birth.

She taught me to crochet, use a sewing machine and took us on outings. Our annual holidays - two weeks at the beach - were paid for by my maternal grandparents and I didn't know until it was too late to show my appreciation.

Thank you Lord that she was a part of my life for 32 years. Not everyone has their grandparents for so long.

Gran-nan, Nanna, Mum, Bessie - 1909-1989 - rest in peace.
