Birthday Card

My sister recently wrote a funny blog about the cute letter she received in the mail from our Grandma Van.  Grandma is probably the wittiest person I know and makes us laugh all the time.  When I turned 21 (and yes, we all still remember this) I had a few friends over to my parents house for a party.  Jeff was there because even back then I was in love.  Anyway, hamburgers were on the menu and Grandma went through the line right behind Jeff and informed him that she needed to watch her weight and would therefore only eat half a hamburger - which actually meant the bottom half of the bun and the whole hamburger.  We still laugh about her half hamburger philosophy to this day.

I just had a 30 something birthday last week and got a card in the mail from Grandma.  This is how it started:

"Happy Birthday Sweet Shannon,
Ifen I'd knowd it was youren birthday Ida baked you a cake!  I guess ifen Ida done that Ida had to et it meself!

Enough of that!  How are you? & your family?....."

Truly, she's the funniest person in person and in her letters that I know.  Love her soooooooo much!
