Mrrzy! Wow! What great relatives! Thanks for sharing them with us...I hope I can be like that at 97!

My Aunt Ruth, (Flora's daughter) who is almost ninety is tough like that. She fell flat onto her back in her garage this year; couldn't get her left arm out from under her body, finally did, to find her shoulder was broken, pulled herself over to her house door, crawled up and into the kitchen, pulled herself up by the counter and then called her daughter, who was not at home, then her granddaughter, who also wasn't home, then the neaighbour, who was at home, who immediately called the emergency squad! She was in hospital about a week, then with a new shoulder started physical therapy. Now, a ocuple of months later, she is back to her daily aerobics classes and bowling! Personally, I think she is too stubborn to do anything else but live life to its fullest. What a wonder!
