90-YEARS-YOUNG IN SARASOTA ...!

It was an affair to remember today in Sarasota as my Grandmother celebrated her 90th Birthday in High Style.  In my family, that means she's earned the right to wear a Highly-Coveted Propeller Beanie that says "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" out in public.  To add to the fun, I presented her with a Portable, Electronic Megaphone which spews out insults at the push of a button;  a Singing, Dancing Stuffed Dog;  and a special "Happy Birthday Fan" to help her blow out the candles on her cake.  I don't know who was more excited by the festivities, my Grandmother or Six-Month-Old Jackson.  Said my Grandmother, "As long as I'm on top of the grass, I'm happy."  Happy Birthday, Nana ... and Many, Happy Returns!

Your Nana is too cute!  Great day for her!  My grandma will be 91 in May.  Whew, she just admitted the other day she felt like she was slowing down!

I feel like I know her after hearing about her over the past few years.  Please send her the sincerest of birthday wishes...and let her know that she is an incredible inspiration to those of us that remain committed to always being young at heart.  And it's only because people like her have led the way!
