We spoke with grandma yesterday, and she sounded better than ever. Wanted to wish her a happy 101st birthday before the masses hit her doorstep. Actually caught her during a nap, but May said she wouldn't want to miss our call so she woke her up and we had a wonderful chat.She was so happy to hear our voices and was especially happy to hear little Phoebe's voice. She said when I'm her age I'll understand how nice it is to hear the sweet voices of great grandchildren. I think I already know what she means.
I suspect she had loads of visitors today, stopping in to see how she's doing and wanting to wish her well. I wonder how many birthday cards, flower arrangements, boxes of chocolate, visits by family/friends, phone calls, etc. she'll get. I wonder what will be her greatest gift.
Can you imagine celebrating 101 birthdays?!

Happy Birthday, Grandma Phoebe!
It is really neat to think that you'll probably reach the ripe old age of 100, too. It's in your genes ,and the way you take care of yourself almost ensures it.
Amazing to think what might happen between now and then...where you'll live, what you'll see, the people that come in and out of your life..
Will you fetch me my cane when we're old? I figger I have til I'm 82. This calculator told me:

What does it say for you?
Hey Courtenay,
That's amazing. My grandpa lived til 95, which is amazing given he smoked cigars and was overweight, never exercised etc. So maybe I've got some good genes too. Anyway, it's amazing that she's 101!
Laura, I tried the calculator. I get 88 at the moment, but if I floss my teeth every day (I sometimes am too lazy), I can live til 89!!
