Happy Birthday Mom!

No, she isn’t going to read this; she doesn’t care much for computers.  Yes, she is still annoying at times, reminding me that I need to wear a sweater when I go out, after all, it’s cold!  She thinks anything below 70 is sweater weather…

The real reason I’m posting this is to simply note that today she is 90.  (shhhh, it’s still a state secret!)

So what does a lady do when she turns 90?

Well, my Mom is out looking for a new car!

She’s in perfect health, still does yard work and house work, she plays bridge several times a week and keeps an eye on her “girlish figure.” (her expression)

I hope I’m so healthy when I’m her age!

She has one bit of advice that she offers for longevity:  “Keep learning things; learn something new every day.”

Good advice, I’d have to say…
