Grandma

This past week my dear Grandma, Annie Marie O'Brien Owens, passed away.  She lived a full life of 92 years, had 4 incredible children and 11 grandchildren.  Growing up she taught me how to make pies, shared her love of gardening and good Southern cooking, and an overall zest for life.
She will be greatly missed.

The legacy she leaves behind is one of grace, strength, and a supreme love of family.  We'll miss her laughter and wit at our annual crawfish boils.  Below is a photo of me with some of my adored cousins.

Oh the fun and mischief we got/ get into.  It was a bittersweet day full of shared memories, good southern cooking, and a celebration of her life.  Never thought I'd see the day when I'd wear cowgirl boots to a funeral, but flying in straight from Mexico didn't lend itself to many shoe options.
Soaking up her presence in her lovely home, looking at old photo albums,
Blessings,
Polly
