Inspirational @ 95


Today is our dear family friend Nanna A's 95 th birthday. What a fabulous milestone. We have known her since the early 1970's when we lived next door to her and her late husband Alex in Collie ( he also lived into his 90's). Dad, Janelle, Sarah and I visited her this year in January. She is such an inspiration still living independently, baking cakes, going to swimming classes, writing short stories and poetry, gardening on her balcony and is right up with technology using a computer and emailing. She didn't even put on any glasses to look at something very small. The girls were very inspired by her activities and humour. I phoned her to wish her a very Happy Birthday and she told me all her family had gathered on the weekend for a celebration and she had a lovely time. She has always lived the simple life and we are very privileged to know such a wonderful lady.
