100 Years

everyday's a new day

Visit Grandma Kanches at her lifetime home a week prior to her 100th Birthday. We did our small pre-celebration as it is such an historic moment and didn't want to get caught up in the "official obligatory parade etc celebration". It's remarkable, it's amazing, it's a milestone. I've never known anyone to live this long.

Calling attention to "100 Years" by Five for Fighting 2003 because it is a timeless musical piece. It hit #1 just as I retired, was named for a hockey penalty, I was just in the midst of my hockey career, and Kathy bought their album.

We tried to find Lillians secret to success and she sort of said everything is a blessing. Here are a few thoughts from other centenarians. Lillian has a few regrets but might be able to minimize your regrets by heeding this advice. 

Christie's newbie Violet is very close to one month old now. Thought it would make a nice contrast.
