93 years young

This post is exactly one year old. And I count that as a blessing! Enjoy ...


photo by Katie Haller

Isn't this the most marvelous photo? It says many things: the love three grandsons have for their grandma. The playful, affectionate nature of their relationship. Grandma is obviously tickled by these three towering grandsons. Her youthful spirit pours forth.

Elizabeth Haller. Born September 20, 1916. She hates most vegetables but loves most desserts. She loves the Cleveland Indians & Browns and watches a myriad of sports on TV.

Most people she meets cannot believe she is (today) 93. Why? It's her youthful spirit and attitude toward life. She's interested in others and loves to laugh. She's giving and meets each day gracefully, with whatever God hands her.

We would all do well to emulate her, whatever our age.

Happy 93rd birthday to my dear mother-in-love!
