I am blessed to have amazing women in my family to look up to. Aunts, cousins, sisters-in-law, my Mom, and Grandmas... Such a legacy to carry on! My Grandma Shirley (our matriarch of music, as I like to call her!) keeps upping the ante with her accomplishments. Just to name a few of her attributes: She is known as a talented musician (even being accepted into a Juliard program in her youth), played the organ at our church for over 60 years before retiring, published a book of her arrangements of hymns for piano, and now has written a book!

She had a book signing Saturday and I asked her how it was going. In true "Shirleyism" fashion she said it was "torturous" being in the limelight. LOL Always one to like serving in the background, like behind a sheet of music, she braved the "whole ordeal" quite nicely.
Keep those surprised coming Grandma! I'm sure you have a few more things up your sleeves.
