But she had no long OR short term memory and was like a toddler. I wouldn't want to live that long without my mind. Times have changed so much in the last century that it is hard to take it all in. Love seeing the old photos...and hairdos! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-32498249066216044572012-09-26T16:04:50.117-05:002012-09-26T16:04:50.117-05:00Wonderful step back in history ... family history....Wonderful step back in history ... family history.
