Happy Birthday to your Grandma! I think 107 is a beautiful number. Second only to 77.

While I don't have any immediate relatives that old, when I was a child my next door neighbor, Helen, lived to be 103. And her mother? She died at 113. Neither Helen nor her mother ever used a wheelchair. They just needed a little elbow support going from one place to another.

Despite having had two knee replacements, my Aunt Doris is 93 now, and she goes line-dancing every week in a class taught by her daughter, who is 70-something. She's very inspiring.
