My beautiful grandmother turned 80 this past weekend and I was so happy to be able to spend time with her and celebrate {though she hates all the fuss made about her!}.
A few years ago, she gave me a few of her photo albums from her life growing up in Japan, and now and then I pull them out and look at them. Here is one I particularly love, my grandmother, at age 26 (the age I am now) in 1958 Japan, caught mid laugh in an outfit she hand sewed herself.
Happy Birthday, Grandma! I love you so much.

What a beauty! 80 and fabulous.
Aw, thank you! She’s the best
I love this! How sweet.
Happy belated to your beautiful Grandma! What a blessing that you were able to spend the day with her. You’ve certainly followed in her fabulous footsteps.
Thank you ladies!
