My grandma passed away last week, 84 years old. Her funeral was over the weekend. I'm here thinking about how adventurous she was. She went hot air ballooning, motorcycle riding.
But the craziest thing she ever did was go SKYDIVING. She was 55 at the time. How bout your grams? =)

Craziest thing my Grandma ever did was go to an amusement park @ 75 and ride some wild rides. She had never been on any of them & did great until a kid got sick on the swinging boat. It was a great day though, watching her eat cotton candy & going thru the haunted house. I was 13 & my sister 11 and it was just a perfect day with Granny. She's in a nursing home now, but she still has the sparkle in her eye every now & again. Keep remembering all the great times & what a wonderful spirit your Grandma had.

I am so sorry about your grandmother but you have to know you are lucky to have had her for so many years. The fact that you're thinking about all these things she did is very, very healthy for you. My grandmother was a very wonderful and funny woman, who lived to be 92, but I can't compete with all yours did. The funniest thing would be the time she got drunk. She was not a drinker so it was memorable. We had a family picnic and she "got tight". (That's what she called getting drunk) My sister and I brought her into the house and sat her down at the kitchen table. She was hungry and asked us to look for something for her to eat. My sister found the left-over potato salad from the picnic but a jar of vinegar had leaked on the top shelf of the fridge into the potato salad. She wanted to eat it anyway. She was so "tight" my sister was spoon feeding it to her. She was a big woman with big boobs and at one point she said her they were too heavy and she lifted them up and "placed" them on the kitchen table. She went to bed shortly after that. We then tasted the potato salad with the vinegar in it and realized it was quite good. So since then the family recipe for potato salad has included a little bit of vinegar. My gramma wasn't as adventurous as yours was but she was born in 1902 when most people were still travelling in horse drawn carriages. She raised 4 children through the depression and World War II (two of her sons served), saw the first moon landing, eventually travelled in an airplane and was well loved by all who knew her. She was a kind and unjudgemental person and I still miss her. She died in 1993.

Wow!
Sorry she passed away...but it sounds like she lived a FULL life!
We could all take a cue from that wild granny!
Years ago, my grandmother worked at an oil company for about 12 years, socked away a ton of cash and bought 80 acres on the side of a mountain in the wild of Arkansas.
She built her own house, cleared the land and planted her own garden and was pretty much self-sustaining in her life-style.
I suspect this was something she knew about when she was a child in eastern Europe back in the early part of the last century.
Talk about your independent person!

The craziest thing my grandma ever did was.......
she sat on a crochet hook which got stuck in her ............you know what. It was sticking out about half way and she couldn't get it out. She had to take a city bus to the doctors and couldn't sit down the whole way. She has passed away and I would love to hear her tell that story again. It was hilarious the way she told it.

Its not craziest but strange. She described details of my wedding ceremony few months before she passed away in a state of semi-consciousness in a hospital, an year before I got married. The details more or less matched.

My grandmother was a stripper. Need I say more? BTW, 2 days before she died, she went base jumping, I think she wanted to go out with a bang. We scattered her ashes over the Pacific and played Elvis music for 24 hours straight. Sounds pretty wierd, but hey, it was in her will.

Oh god too many stuff. i am going to't even save in recommendations each section they have suggested to me, my grandpa is senile so he says a good number of issues. and my grandma realized a good number of yank cuss words (shes no longer from usa) so she often times says "stfu" or stuff.
