101 Birthday Girl

We have a beautiful neighbor, Bea, who just turned 101 yesterday. I get to visit her once a month and catch up with all of her news. She is the most wonderful lady who is sharp as a tack, remembers everything, does everything and goes everywhere and if she can't sleep at night she gets up and does leg exercises at the bannister. She is a true inspiration for so many people in our neighborhood.

Last night I went over with some Finnish chocolates and a card for a 1-year old. She is, after all, starting life all over again from age 1. Her two sisters, Thelma and LeVon (you thought I was going to say Louise, weren't you) were there and we had a great visit with all three of them. I have met the sisters many times before and we always have a fun visit with us swapping stories of what we have read recently. Mind you, the sisters are in their late 80s and early 90s, and are beautiful and sharp as can be.
