99 and counting

Meet Steve's Grandma Nora. Tomorrow (December 12) she turns 99! This amazing lady was born in 1911. Imagine the things she has witnessed in this world.

And she's still going strong.

We had a wonderful afternoon visiting with her and hearing her stories of Indians trying to break into her home when her father was gone, a cow falling into their new well, having her twins in her kitchen (steve's dad is one of those twins), how crazy doctors are--so she never listens to them--- and on and on and on. I hope I am as healthy and happy as she is if I get to live that old. She says she didn't really plan to live this long, but she just goes with it anyway.....

We forgot to get a picture today, but here's one from a family reunion two summers ago. She hasn't changed much (but we have a little)--you can see those powerful Mickelson tallness genes coming through



Happy Birthday Grandma!
