Pushing 90


Look at her. In her 89th year. Harriet. Mom. And here's what she said to me yesterday..."When people ask me how I am, I'm going to tell them: I'm better than I was yesterday but not as good as I will be tomorrow." Hey, it might not be original but she meant it and that's good enough for me. A month ago she was in the hospital after a bout of pancreatitis. Look at her now. The woman's got guts! -Merrill (comments welcome)
