A recent quick trip to Utah afforded a visit with my Great Aunt Mary, 90 years wise and a pillar of modesty, prudence, and kindness. This gal remembers everything. The daughter of Italian immigrants, she finished 8th grade and then stayed home to work with her parents on their farm. In her late teens she moved to California with a friend and there worked at a Soda Fountain. A frequent customer, an Italian man named Johnny, fell in love with her at first sight. They married, kept a sweeping ranch in California, even went on Safari together! Forever devoted to her extended family, it's a true blessing to know and learn from sweet Aunt Mary.

What a cool experience. And what a great shot of you!
that's nice of you...I debated whether or not to post the photo because I was so displeased with my disheveled appearance, tired eyes, and terrible posture! Thanks for giving me a boost!
Look, I'm doing it!!!!
90 years old! What an amazing story, and a special experience for you and your son.
