grandma's birthday...

i took 2 weeks off (thanks to all of you who wrote saying you missed the snaps!)... and took a trip upstate for a family vacation... including a celebration for my grandma's 90th birthday. my grandma, agnes, came over from ireland on a boat when she was 19. after living and working in nyc she married my grandfather and moved upstate, where my mom was born. lot's of my relatives live in the area, but since i've always lived on the west coast, i haven't been able to spend that much time with her over the years. now she is living in a nursing home in carthage, about 8 hours from nyc... i was happy for the visits we had for her birthday and over the holidays, even if it was sad at times... i'll spare you the whole family history... but this week's snaps are devoted to my grandma...
