Today is granddaughter Erica’s 21st birthday.
I bet she’s out celebrating tonight, drinking and carousing and carrying on. I’m sure she’s up to no good, otherwise she’d have invited me along. She knows how I like to party. But that’s Erica for you, you know how she is. You do? So alright already, sometimes Grandma lies a little.
If I could only figure out a way to clone this child, my fortune would be made (and of course I would leave it all to you, that’s the kind of person I am). Erica’s middle name is Joy and that’s what she brings us.
If you’re prepared for sunshine, let’s have a little visit with her as she was when she was 3 and 7 years old.
When she’s not helping look after her family, Erica is currently a business major at the University of Washington, a champion Irish dancer and she teaches Irish dance classes. In her “spare time” she works at H & M Clothing Store in the University Village.
And here she is as a 21 year old. Happy birthday, dear child. Thank you for being alive.
She is the sweetest.
Good morning my sweet darling Pat! I love this tribute to Erica!
What a fun video to have. I love all her answers!
HER PHOTOS ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Love to you, Linda
Wow! Nice job finding and editing those clips together. Do you ever sleep? Erica is a doll. She is beautiful inside and out.

This is so adorable 🙂
What an adorable video. I had totally forgotten about those interviews!
This is way too funny and so nice of you to make Grandma! 🙂
I had forgotten how much Erica looked like Teresa! What a doll. The videos are precious. These tributes are the best gift to your family ever. You are the best Grandma. 365 blogs will not be enough! I always knew you were funny and clever, but you are really a natural story teller. So much fun!!
I had missed the video when I first read this. Erica looked just like Teresa at that age. I love that little lisp. She is a beautiful girl.
Oh my goodness. I had forgotten how much Erica looked like Teresa! What precious videos! You are the best Grandma ever! And what a beauty she has become, like everyone in your clan!
