Well, can you believe it?! My great-grandmother turned 100. I've got healthy blood in my veins. This is my dad's side. Apparently, I look like my Dad, he looks like his dad, and he looks like his mom. So is this me in 75 years?! I plan to keep all my teeth though (although I really should get to flossing).Okay, so it really was cool; she was a lot of fun. I haven't seen her in a while- several years. And that day she was aware of us and knew my grandfather well. We had to reintroduce ourselves. I told her I was a teacher, and she loved that. She was a teacher at the age of 18, having passed all her teaching classes already. She taught 1st-6th in a one-room school house, including some boys that were bigger and older than her. She loves to sing, so we got out the songbook and sang her favorites. She would stare intently at us during the verses and then chime in for the chorus. It was so sweet! I hope I'm still singing at 100. I will always remember "Sing and be Happy," my favorite church song. What song will you be singing at 100?

Wow--100 years old! I know she must have enjoyed having so many visitors on her big day. You are a very entertaining visitor, too! :-)
WOW!! Mark's grandma will be 100 in May. I just can not fathom what that must be like.
