Mama Phyllis, my grandmother is 95 today. She is celebrated each and every day in my heart however as she lives across country. This woman has been the inspiration for all creative things that I take on. From cooking, to decor, to craft, she's had a hand in it my entire life and I always have strived to be like her. Her frame is petite and her style is casual but she is the most elegant person I know. She is a retired nurse and had a long and happy marriage to my wonderful papa who passed away a few years ago. I lived with them for a short time in my between college days when I was living my dreams in NYC as a dancer. And each day when I came home and had a cocktail and relaxed with my grandparents before dinner was a key time to learn about them and hear stories of the old days. When I moved, Mama gave me a gold charm with "Star Boarder" etched in it.
So now she is 95 years young and this gives me another thing to strive for; a happy and long life. Happy Birthday Mama. I love you!
