Jill's Journal: It’s a long, long trek from Paso Robles to Northridge in the L.A.-area, about three hours and 40 minutes each way, to be exact, but it’s not every day the girls’ only surviving Great Grandma turns 90.
We spent the special day yesterday with this sweet and feisty lady, even talking her into donning a birthday tiara for a few brief moments. It was so fun to see her enjoy the girls, her only great grandchildren, who seem to innately know they must be on their very best behavior at her house.
Ninety years old. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Great Grandma Lili has certainly earned a few birthday Oreos (her favorite cookie). Every time we’ve visited, she has made absolutely certain the girls shared a few Oreos with her and this day was no exception. She jokingly said she wants them to remember her for her Oreos…I think they will!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, you made her day. She called me the next day to tell me, what she thought was going to be just a regular day turned out to be very special. Your visit was the highlight and of course dinner with Pat and Ed next door was special for her. Uncle Brian planned to take her to the deli for dinner he said thats all she wanted. It turns out he never asked her what she wanted. I had full intentions of ordering a cake for her but Brian would have to pick it up. She told him not to make a special trip down just for her Birthday to come at his regular schedule. So of course the cake idea went away. I wish I was closer so I could have had a party for her, 90 is a big deal. Thanks guys for at least someone making an effort for her.

Andee, it was our pleasure...it's not every day the girls' Great Grandma turns 90! How nice to hear she enjoyed her birthday. It SHOULD be special at that age!
