Mama can't believe she is 100.

The DaySpring Hospice nurse checks on mother two times a week. On one of mother's good days last week, she was engaged in a very normal conversation with Erica. Erica asked her when was her birthday and Mother told her, June 11. She then asked, "How old are you?" Mother didn't know, so Erica said, "You're 100 years old."  Mother replied immediately, "I ain't dunnit!"

What's that saying, "You're only as old as you feel?"

This portrait was made on June 9, 2011, which was two days before we celebrated mother's 100th birthday with a party in Elba, AL. Over 140 people attended her party.
