Happy Birthday Gramma Honey!

My Gramma Honey had the best birthday.  Why do you ask...because it is Halloween!  Now, my Gramma Honey passed away back in 1998, but our family still celebrates.  It is more of a bittersweet holiday for us.

To honor my Gramma's birthday every year my Mommy and I purchase something that reminds us of her.  Normally it's a Witch and if it has purple on it it is a double bonus because that is her favorite color. Needless to say I have about 12 different Witch related items decorating my house and every time I see one it puts a smile on my face. We always go up and visit her grave site and put flowers and sometimes we eat Taco Bell with her.  Today my parent's and I went up to visit her and my Uncle came too so it was great little visit and shared a few memories of my Gramma. 

I think of my Gramma everyday and wonder how she is doing, but then again I know she is having a fantastic time up in heaven watching over us.  A quote from my favorite movie Top Gun she is, "Communicating. Keeping up foreign relations. You know, giving  the bird!"
Gramma Honey...I love you and hope you had a wonderful birthday!
