One of the most active people I know is my grandma whom we refer to as Pat Pat. She has a certain spunk and outlook on life that has you excited to keep looking forward.

She gave Girl, Same some things that she has accomplished in her lifetime and we are so proud to put a focus on her!

Here are just a FEW things that she wanted to share.

1.     She had 3 kids, 3 successful children. And raising them wasn’t easy either! With my grandfather in the Air Force he was away a lot of times being a hero to the United States. He even didn’t meet my mother until months after she was born!

2.     With my grandfather in the Air Force meant moving a lot….15 times…and she made each household fit into new and various homes.

3.     Just managing a home all by yourself is a feat in itself…on top of raising 3 kids and the stress of having your spouse on active duty.

4.     She proved herself in a man’s world and she did a damn good job at it!

5.     Fun fact, Pat Pat was my tennis coach before I tried out for the tennis team in high school. Tennis was her sport, even teaching private lessons and having her own tennis court in her backyard!

6.     One of Pat Pat’s favorite hobbies is to dance with her dogs for fun and competitively. It brings such great joy to her and to the places her team visits to put on shows. She’s proud of the fact that she made a Bouvier, a dog that isn’t known to dance, to do free style dancing earning a high score of 18.50

7.     She taught a terrier not to bark!

8.     If you go to my parent’s house, you will see my grandma’s artwork in some of their rooms. She has impressively mastered the art of free form watercolor along with knitting, sewing, quilting, decorating (especially Christmas trees) and countless other creative skills

9.     What is she up to now?

a.     Mastering a computer/tablet and other electronics!

b.     Cleaning out a basement from her move 2 years ago!

Give it up for Pat Pat. Her stories are always fun to hear and her being proud of all of her accomplishments are such a classic girl, same moments
