Nanny was in the beauty pageant at the nursing home last Thursday. Was she beautiful or what?!?!?!? I have to say she is one of the most beautiful 88 year olds that I know! She didn't win, but Nanny will always be our Beauty Queen. Nanny has always been one of the women in my life that I admire so much. I guess I am alot like her in alot of ways. I do have alot of "Nanny in me" as Joy would say. Haha!! Nanny has always had alot of spunk and always been so much fun. When we were young, she would always "get all the girls"...all 6 of us, and we would all spend the night with her. She would always take us to the "Krys-chyl Burger" aka Krystal to eat supper(one time she forgot to bring money to pay-lol) and then we would always stop at "Givins's" aka Givorns on the way home to get snacks for the night. I would always, always get the biggest jar of dill pickels that they sold and we would eat em til we got the stomach ache. Then, on the way home she would always stop at the end of her road and let me drive from the end of her road back to her house, which was a pretty good ways. She would only let me drive tough for some reason. She never let any of the other girls drive. I'm not sure why, but I really never cared, cause I was always the one that got to drive everywhere. lol Those are childhood memories that I will always cherish forever and ever! Oh and I forgot to mention that on the day of the beauty pageant, she "lost" her teeth. I told her it was beauty pageant sabatoge(sp) and somebody must have stole her teeth so she wouldn't win!!! But it didn't matter to her and it didn't stop her!!!!! She was in it anyway. But really, she loses her teeth all the time. We have found them all over the place... even under her bed a couple of times. Haha! We think she probably wadded them up in a paper towel or napkin, just as she does everytime she takes them out of her mouth, and accidentally threw them away. Nanny was still beautiful and she did great in the pageant!!! We love you Nanny!!!
Well, ya'll have a great night!! I love ya'll loads!!
