Summer 1942. Elizabeth Muriel Thayer, 25, set off on a biking adventure with some girlfriends. If you can imagine, they toured New York City and New England. Elizabeth says she doesn't remember a lot about it, but we found this marvelous photo which I used to make her birthday card, and entitled it "Quite a Ride" for Elizabeth is turning 95 today. Imagine all she's witnessed in her lifetime. Autos hadn't been around long when she was born. Radio, television, space travel, convenience foods, and the computer age all came about. Through it all, Elizabeth became a wife, mother, schoolteacher, widow, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is our link to a simpler time and embodies the love and grace of a life well-lived. We all love you, Elizabeth/Mom/Grandma/"GG" and wish you the happiest birthday in all your 95 years!

Happiest of birthdays, Elizabeth!

It's amazing that after 70 years, she looks much the same. I would have matched that picture to her easily.
Happy 95th, Elizabeth!
Awww. I love her!
