Happy 100 years Grandma!

My Grandma is turning 100 years old today!!! Think about it.....1908 is when she was born. This was when:

*only 14 percent of the homes had bathtubs

*average life expectancy was 47

*Henry Ford developed the first Model T automobile and it sold for 850 dollars

*The speed limit was 10 mph in most places

*The average wage was 22 cents an hour

*sugar was 4 cents a pound

*Most women only washed their hair once a month,and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. *The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30

*There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day

*Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores.

*There were about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.A.

*Federal spending: $0.66 billion

*Theodore Roosevelt was the President

My grandma is one of the greatest people I know. She is always so positive and has a great way of looking at the world. She has seen so much evolve and can't figure out how a cell phone can work the same way as a "rotary phone". I love to hear her stories, my kids do too.

What a legacy she holds. She has five children, 17 grandchildren, 45 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. I am so proud to call her my grandma. We have always had a special bond and I know it will lead to the eternities.

It is kind of crazy to me that today is election day-the most important one-and she was born 100 years ago today. The things she must be thinking..........WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!
