Grandma Furber's Birthday

On Labor Day, we labored and then celebrated Grandma Furber's 89th birthday. Actually, I think Tyler labored on the never ending chicken coop and I shopped and cleaned. Or something. I can't actually remember. And then we celebrated the life of Grandma.

Grandma Furber, Tyler's maternal Grandmother, has lived a wonderful life so far. We feel so blessed to live 5 minutes from her. She is optimistic, compassionate, service oriented and goal orientated. A cheerful and nonjudgmental mother, wife, grandmother and great grandmother. She is a reader, writer, gardener, swimmer, pianist, teacher, hostess, cook, and my kids prefer her canned applesauce to mine.

Happy Birthday Grandma! We hope to spend many more years with you!

We love finding her falling asleep at the most random times and places. This is at the Stoehr reunion 2019. 

 She is so supportive of her children and great-grandchildren, this was after Jocelyn's Ballet recital in June. 

Here she is in the garden, a daily occurrence. In May, she tediously and carefully pruned her blackberry bushes of which we are now enjoying in homemade jelly.
