She sounds amazing!
This is an awesome post. Sarah, your grandmother sounds like a gem. She is sweet, and I love all of the good qualities that you see in her. I'm willing to try any of those cinnamon rolls, whenever there are leftovers! That sounds yummy! Happy Birthday to Katie Tovey!
You should put this on the family web site! Couldn't have said it better! Her apple crisp and cinn. rolls are the best. Funny how those same qualities in grandma I see in our mom! I guess when you live 10 miles away from each other forever it's bound to happen. We're really lucky to have been able to be around the Tovey grandparents. A lot of kids grow up just seeing them on holidays and such...... we/you were for sure spoiled! haha
I LOVE Grandma Katie. From the second I joined the Tovey family, she made me feel just like one of her own grandkids. I think she is just a fantastic person in every way. Ohh, and what I wouldn't do for a bowl of her potato soup and a homemade roll. HEAVEN!
Happy birthday to your Grandma. She sounds wonderful. I want to have the energy to Jazzersize when I'm 79 too.
Your Grandma sounds like a really neat lady. She really does make 79 look great! I hope that she is able to see your wonderful tribute to her.
What a special person. She is all that you said. She means much to all the people she "mothered" in our stake growing up. She basically kept my mom attending young womens as a kid and my mom attributes her testimony growth to that woman. Happy birthday sister tovey!
