Happy Birthday Bess

Today, my Grandmother turns 100. Bess, when you were born, women did not have the right to vote. The Titanic had not sunk. You came to this country to escape WWI. You grew up and graduated from Cornell University, you had four children, whom you raised on your own after your husband died. You lived through teh Great Depression, WWII, and you were able to watch the first time a human walked on the moon. You saw the invention of television, you were there for the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam war. You taught me everything I know and love about cooking; you taught me to try new things and never stop learning. I am in awe of the things you have seen and done in your life. I love you Bess! Happy Birthday.
