Celebrating Life

West Virginia

Not everyone makes it to 100 years old, especially in such good physical health. Granny still hangs out laundry to dry every day. She's wearing her sun hat and house cleaning apron here.

There weren't any Happy 100th Birthday balloons so there are two Happy 50th Birthday.

Not only a wonderful shot, but a momentous capture of a bit of history. Just think, this lady was around when the Wright brothers flew the first plane. She looks remarkably well considering her age. She looks more like 80 then 100. Hardly any sun spots. As someone previously posted, its doing all those chores, along with good genes of course, that have kept her so young looking. Happy Birthday

My Granny spent her 100th birthday in hospital, but she still had another five birthdays! I hope your Gran continues with her health.
Congratulations to yours!

An interesting problem to have to have to group 2 balloons to make 100! She seems really straight and strong!
