My other three (3) grandparents were all born in the 1890s and all died in the 1970s. My mum's mum, born in 1903, died in 2003, just shy of her telegram.
My Nan lived to be 104 and a half. At 99 she went into hospital with pneumonia and recovered buy whilst there they fixed he cataracts, and she was fitted with a pacemaker because her heart was a little irregular. I expressed concerns about her having Operations but the doc said they had no concerns about her...I did the obituary at her funeral. She was born 6 months before the Wright brothers flew, the things she saw/lived through...
She said to me once she wished she'd made more of her lived (grandad died in 1968), which is when I pointed out she got around 500 christmas cards every year (and replied to them all). The people she'd met, touched, who wanted to stay in touch, who wrote regularly...

My Nan told me that when she was young, girls having all their teeth removed was considered the perfect gift for a 21st birthday or a newly married bride, to spare them from a lifetime of pain.
She was born 1903...
I know people alive today who had exactly this done in their youth. My friend Cathy for example, who would be only 82 if she were still among us. She was born 1903...

My father was born in 1910. Never went to school,never had a father and only a mum for two years.
I managed to clean, fill holes, mastic, sand down, clean, do 2 coats on the ceiling and walls, cut in around the lights and then clean up. Just a couple of cutting in coats and then sort the shower unit before final clean should get done by close tomorrow. Currently cooking spicy wedges and chicken enchiladas.
