    We're having a big get-together for her tomorrow. She normally doesn't like us making a fuss, but she's cooperating for this one. I guess cuz it's such an important number.

    She's my mom's mom. That side of the family lives forever. My great-grandma lived to be 104. My grandma's older sister just turned 104 in October. Her older brother is 96 and just stopped driving last year. Only my uncle Obert has died at a relatively young age and he was in his sixties. He's also the only one from both sides of the family to die of cancer. I don't know what it is about Norwegians, but we're a healthy bunch.

    I know what it is about Norwegians - lutefisk. Anyone who can swallow lutefisk deserves to live a long life. Lefse however is delicious, but eating too much would probably shorten your life.

    Wow! So then, you'll still be kickin' around this place when the rest of us are long gone! Those are some awesome genes you inherited! Hope she has a wonderful day...and it's a good thing it's not a surprise party! I hope you all had a fabulous time!
