thatababy: a 116-year old woman lives in inkster, michigan! she was alive when the wright brothers first took flight! when movies added sound! when okapi was added to the scientific record!
My grandmother was 73 when i was born. She was born in 1886 and lived to be 97, living alone until age 91. She and her family rode in a covered wagon to help an uncle in Kansas for a year before giving up and all went back to Iowa. She was alive when the Wright Brothers flew. She never had a tellie or a electric washing machine. I still remember washing the wringer washer and hanging out her clothes, putting out a garden every year and helping her can. She had so many wonderful stories I still cherish today.
