The Birthday Girl and Her Daughter by Weezilou

The Birthday Girl and Her Daughter

If I reach 100, I'd love to look even half this good! That's Margie and her daughter, my good friend, Gil (Gillian). The open house yesterday was a huge success with a turnout to match. Margie was surrounded by her daughter, grand children and two great grand children as well as a niece visiting from South Africa where the family originally hails from.

Early on, as I took photos, Margie told me she didn't want her picture in the newspaper. I won't tell her about 365!

(As a note of interest, Lunenburg County has one of the highest percentages of centurians anywhere. Google it and see! They attribute it, possibly, to a diet rich in fish and walking the many hills around here... It's true that the town is full of many active seniors! Even Margie here still lives in her own home without more than her family's assistance when they come by.)
She is looking fantastic,Ans so very happy.

Great story! My guess is that she has many stories to tell....

She doesn't look a day over 80...did you ask her how old she felt. I am always curious

She is a beautiful Woman, and she looks very happy. What a grand celebration to be alive at 100 and to be able to be as healthy as she appears to be.

Awwww great picture

How great she looks! Happy Birthday to her! Maybe Bob and I should think about moving there - more people live to 100 than anywhere else? What a great record to have...

Congratulations to Margie :)

She looks at least 20 years younger. So...I'll live longer if I move there? Now that's a goal to work toward.

Wow! What a wonderful photo of Margie & Gillian.
How young she Margie looks.
As you say I'd like to look like that if I last that long.
Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful portrait of both of them. I know if she saw this shot she would want it in the paper. It is lovely and she looks so fantastic. Wishing her more wonderful memories in the years to come.
