    Great-grandma was 103 when she died, she was born in 1899 and saw so many changes in her life. I remember her sitting on the porch smoking her pipe and telling me of her life. Even when she was very old she still took delight in so many things. Her favorite in the whole world was her television. As a teenager, she would sneak of to watch movies at the local cinema, that was just a room with a bunch of chairs set up. So when televisions came out she was over the moon. My grandmas both lived to 100, grandma died in March this year. I doubt I will live that long what with plastic in our bodies and brains.
