- •Her kitchen, garden or the recipe everyone asks for
- •The number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren
- •Where she grew up, or how she met Grandpa

Flour on the counter, a radio low,
Sunday-afternoon kitchen, the place we'd all go,
Margaret, it's your turn to be celebrated today.
Example songs
Eighty Years of Margaret
80th birthday song for a grandmother, gentle acoustic
Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] Flour on the counter, a radio low, Sunday-afternoon kitchen, the place we'd all go, You knew every birthday, you knitted the cold away, Margaret, it's your turn to be celebrated today. [Chorus] Eighty years of Margaret, eighty years of grace, Every one of us grew up in the warmth of your embrace, So blow out the candles, Grandma, make a wish or two, The best thing in this family began with you. [Verse 2] You taught us card games and how to lose well, Kept every school photo and the stories they tell, Six grandchildren later you still know our names in a breath, We'll be singing this song when you're ninety, no less.
Seventy One Years of Grace
A milestone birthday song
The gift for someone who has everything
Grandparents usually say they don't want anything. What they do want is to know the family remembers. A song about her life, sung with her name in it, gives her that in three minutes she can replay forever.
Choose a gentle style she'll enjoy: acoustic, country or a classic ballad usually suit older listeners best. You can also choose a female or male singer.
Playing it for her
Most families play the song at the birthday party or over a video call. You can also burn the MP3 to a CD, or print the lyrics as a keepsake card with a QR code that opens the song.

Questions
Can the whole family contribute?
Yes. Gather a memory from each grandchild and put them in the story box; the lyrics will include as many as fit naturally.
Grandma doesn't use a smartphone. Will that work?
Yes. The song is a plain MP3: play it from a laptop or speaker, put it on a CD, or print the lyrics with a QR code for someone to scan.
Can it be for her 80th or 90th birthday?
Yes. Tell us the age and a few highlights from her life, and the song will celebrate the milestone.
