One hundred years ago today....

My gramma was born.

I always thought it was Friday the 13th when she was born, but according to a perpetual calendar I just checked a moment ago, she was really born on a Saturday.

Today would have been her 100th birthday.

4. Cool

My Nana turns 101 on the 24th. She is still kicking (figuratively), of course.

8. My gramma...

passed away in 1989, just before I turned 23. It doesn't seem so terribly long ago.

13. My grandmother made it to 100

Born in 1899, died in 2000.

Weird to see 3 centuries on her tombstone.
