Very cool. I would love to hear the stories that she could tell. Imagine the things that she has seen in her lifetime and the wisdom that she has. We could all take a few lessons.

My hat is off to her.

All in all shes in pretty good shape. She's sure got a sound mind and can walk some. Funny how my grandfather used to say when he was alive " Don't you worry about Ruth, she's going to outlive all of us" I wonder how he knew that.

Congradulations on your grandmother's sister 100th birthday.

I'm a bit over the half way mark to the century mark.

My grandmother's sister is 104, though I never met her.

Again, congradulations for your grandmother's sister birthday.
