As the aughts wind down with 2010, Rob reminded me that 2011 will be Grandma’s second time entering the teens. She was born in 1905.
I know this and yet the mind boggles anyway.
She remembers the Titanic, WWI, Woodrow Wilson, medicine shows, getting the mail by train once a week. We were talking while I was home and she said that she feels like people aren’t as considerate sometimes, but that she wouldn’t want to go back to then and have to give up her electric lights and running water.
Let’s hope the teens this time around are courteous, bright, and well-watered. No World Wars, please.
Happy New Year.
Hear! Hear!

That’s awesome that your grandmother’s still kicking. My grandfather was born the same year but passed on 25 years ago. I’d love to hear his thoughts now. =/
