And he made it 6 months past his 90th birthday.

Our family nickname for Mom is the Energizer Bunny. She just goes and goes and goes. Even when she cracked her hip last spring it only slowed her down for a few weeks.

I hope I last that long - but I'm sure my older sister will. She takes after Mom and never stops going.
