Ninety years ago today, Scott's sweet, amazing, inspirational, cute little Grandma was born. Yes--90 years! Now, I have only known Lucille for the last 7 and a half. I'm no mathemateican so I will just say that's a real small percentage of the time she has spent on this earth. But from the minute I met her, I knew she was someone very special. Now, you must know, if you don't already, that Lucille and her beloved husband, Ray, had 14 children! Yes--14 children! Again, I have been in the know for almost 8 years and it still blows my mind. I wish I knew the exact numbers but she has more than a couple dozen grankids and the great grandkid count has to be over 50! Yeah the numbers are huge but what's even more amazing than that is that Grandma has a way of making every last one of us (even those of us lucky enough to have married into this crazy family) feel important and loved and special. What a gift!
So instead of Happy Brithday (it's too passe to capture the magnitude of what today really is) I will end with a Thank You. Thank you for being born, Grandma. Thank you for having my loving mother in law, who gave me and the world, an incredible man I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with. Most of all thank you for giving us the oppurtunity to share in the lives of our daughters. Without you, this Starman family ride would not be possible.
We hope you have a great day!
Grandma loves to quilt and sew. She'll whoop you at any card game. Her faith in God is unwavering. Family is her life. I don't doubt that she misses Grandpa Ray everyday, especially on days like today. But I am also sure that he is with her, wishing her the best of times and urging her to enjoy them all.
Luckily, Scott is able to be in Omaha today to celebrate with Grandma, the Lordemann clan and the wanna-bes. Drink a white russian for me; I will be there in spirit.

Actually that comment was from a long time ago...I dunno how that happened. But what I meant to post was what a wonderful tribute this is to Scott's grandmother and his entire family. Well done...again!!!
I agree with your Dad, you are such a great writer. You make everything so fun to read. Please keep at it.
