Today is the United States Navy 238th birthday, but also today is my great-grandmother, Irene Beaver's 90th birthday.
As I have joking for the past few days, I knew the Navy and Granny would have something more in common than just my great-grandfather, Raymond Beaver.
It is hard to believe that my great-grandmother is 90, when she does not look the part. I love listening to her stories of her life and what she has went through, and yet she never makes it out like she was going through a Great Depression or a war, but was living the best she could.
The only sad thing that involves these two is the lack of effort to acknowledge their achievement of today. It is amazing and rare to meet a 90 year old woman who is clearly very independent and a Navy who has went through so much and yet has remained strong. Google is the one thing that has bothered me, they like to change their Google emblem when something important comes up, but yet today they never did anything for the birth of the United States Navy.
On another note, the idea of creating a blog for the book club I am a part of well it became a reality! Three Bookish Girls check it out and please comment on the entries that are there. We are hoping that this blog/web page will be a good thing for us. Plus, it will be nice to write things on another blog especially focusing on books and reading.
Well that should be it, write tomorrow about 20s Group and how Granny's birthday went (hoping more people will wish her a happy birthday).
God Bless,
Nikita
