Grandma MaryAnn - Princess of Springhurst Pines

This is Tootie! He is a Therapy Dog and his daddy brings him to visit me EVERY day! I love him so much.

Grandma Maryann says she needs to see more cats in trees and animals in Christmas costumes!

On holidays, I come out to our family events. My daughter Judy's cats had kittens! I wanted to hold them all.

My 84-year old Grandma Mary Ann voted from her nursing home today. She literally squealed with excitement!

My granddaughter Jennifer registered me to vote and I was SO EXCITED and THRILLED to be able to vote in the 2016 Presidential election. Voting for a woman is something I never thought I'd get to do in my lifetime, but I did it!

My 84 yr old Grandma MaryAnn painted me a picture in her nursing home painting class

I used to paint a lot in my younger days, we have painting classes here at the nursing home every month. My granddaughter says mine are always the best! I am humble and always hide them in the drawer, then my granddaughters find them and fight over them!

Hugging the puppy

All of my beautiful granddaughters, I'm so proud of them all.

Once my story went viral, people wanted to send me postcards!  I got them from all over the world and this was from Taiwan!

It had traveled some 7,600 miles to Kentucky! In great shape, I might add.

If you would like to send me a postcard of a baby animal or ANYTHING, I would be overjoyed!

You can send it to me at my nursing home and they will get them all to me!

For The Princess of Springhurst Pines

Special Engraving from Team Reddit - Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian sent Jennifer and me this new iPad for browsing /r/aww!

"Princess of Springhurst Pines

Grandma calls it "The Thing".

Nice!

/r/AWWWW

When we logged into /r/aww today, Grandma's "Ooohs and Awwwws" were doubled in size! Bigger screen, bigger AWWS. It was kind of funny. Something tells me that Aww Hour is going to turn into Aww HOURS...it's much more fun on an iPad!

Team Reddit sent my Grandma a new Apple iPad Air2 for better Redditing

It was so exciting...

They had a very nice spread and had a "champagne bar" where everyone's glass was filled and had a strawberry slice!

Our Activities Director is great! She has wonderful events for us to attend. Every year they crown a King, Queen and Princess and Prince of Springhurst Pines at our annual Valentine's Resident/Family Party. It is a really nice event!

The red velvet cupcakes were DELICIOUS!

Getting a kiss on the hand from The King

This picture was snapped at just the right moment! The look on her face is genuinely priceless! This is the picture that made me famous all over the world! I didn't understand what "viral" meant, but I soon learned and was a little bit overwhelmed to know they were looking at me from news stations all over the world!!

Princess Grandma MaryAnn

She was 83 years old and I always thought she'd make a good queen! She got to wear a formal and a makeup artist came in and did her hair and makeup. She was crowned The Princess.

Oops, my eyes were closed, but I wanted to show my wreath my granddaughter made. She always makes sure my room is decorated for every holiday!

Grandpa and Grandma holding hands - Sept 2014

My husband Ronnie and I had been married for what seemed like our entire lives. He was in the nursing home with me in the beginning, but passed away from cancer shortly after we moved in. He was truly the love of my life. Right before he died, he told me, "Don't stop going to your activities and never stop wearing your LIPSTICK!" I miss him every day.
