Elsie was born on Sept. 20th, 1913. She said to me this morning, "When I turned fifty someone told me that I would live to be a hundred years old. I thought, Why would anyone want to live that long. And now I am a hundred and two years old."
She is in good health. At her age, I was worried that she might not still have been there but she was, doing her knitting and still smiling. She is an inspiration to me.
She is an inspiration to me too. Amazing that she can still knit! People are living longer now- let's hope we can stay in good health if we live that long.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, I don't know if I want to live that long either. P
DeleteElsie is truly amazing. She is so cute and has a lovely smile. It is so hard to believe she is that old, she certainly does not look it.
