January 2, 2011 - We will celebrate Emma Traynor's 100th b'day with an open house at my place which is next to where Gram lives. 626 Davidson Street. Time is noon to 2 pm. Stop by and wish her well. Pass it along to all you know. We tried to send out some invitations but it is kind of hard to get on to all so word of mouth please pass along. Hope to see you call if any questions.

Nana having fun

I guess you can have fun with someone 90 plus years older than you. My grand kids came in for visit with Nana. I managed to capture the moment as they enjoyed having some fun. Nana is pretty good at this time. She now has full time care with someone watching over her while I work. She has good moments and not so good moments. I think she enjoys being in her own house as any of us would. She enjoys contact and cards but only replies in her own mind or when I get a chance which is not too often. We hope to see you at the Reunion.

Nana May Come Home

On Wednesday May 5th Nana is coming home. Nothing will be the same as she will need care but we hope for the best as we know that is where she wants to be. So we are in the process of getting help and making arrangements. Her hip is healed and mobility improves on her good days. She remembers some things but who could remember 99 years of information!!! Say a prayer that all her love and support allows her to still do the things she wants to do.

Emma Traynor Broke Her Hip

Gram has had a little set back but is coming around. She broke her hip on Tuesday and was operated on Wednesday. She still has her wit at times taking a few years off of her age or flirting with the guys. The Doctor doing the operation dropped his jaw when he explained the risks that included death and she responded that oh well I only have to do that once. The PT guy came in and she commented on his muscles. I could go on but I will let her tell the stories when she is well. I just thought I would let you know. She is in room 236 at Samaritan Hospital for at least a week and then it is day by day where we go after evaluations. Please keep her in your prayers.

Emma May Butler Traynor turns 99

Ninety-nine and still in the party line!!! We were blessed to be able to celebrate Nana's 99Th birthday today with a family brunch up on the second floor of her castle. Jeremyah, one of her great-great grandsons gave a birthday kiss to someone 33 times his age!!! I guess age really doesn't matter. She had a good day and enjoyed it very much. To those who sent cards, flowers or came by to celebrate I can tell you she may expect it being a Butler but she also appreciates it!!! Happy Birthday Nana!
