It is not everyday that a loved one turns 100. Granny Fran celebrated her 100th birthday this past weekend with family and friends at her church with a birthday lunch and cake after the Sunday service. The highlight, other than seeing extended family and watching the cousins play, was experiencing Granny’s unfiltered mind at work which has always been a little blunt (“you must have been a fat baby” is one of my favorite Granny quotes) and has only gotten more amazing with age, although I suppose she has earned it. During the church service the pastor asked all fathers to stand up to honor them on Fathers Day. My Uncle David was sitting next to Granny and he stood up as requested. Granny immediately quipped “Why are you standing up? Are you celebrating a big birthday?”
In addition to 100 years, Martin and I also celebrated our anniversary early at Foreign Cinema, another Germany win at a watch party on Saturday, and Father’s Day on Sunday. And because, the end of the school year is always hectic, we had dim sum with my parents on Juneteenth, and Oskar graduated fourth grade (the end of elementary school in Germany)
