I saw this obit in the paper yesterday.
And yes, I read the obituaries.....
Seriously, this lady lived to be 111. ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN.
That means she was born in 1899.
And check out all the limbs on her family tree. And those are just the ones that are still living.
1 sister.
7 kids.
54 grands.
153 great-grands.
94 great-great-grands
13 great-great-great-grands
That's 322 family members. Mercy me. That's just....Great. And Grand.
Think about how big their dinner table must be at Christmas. Guess they have to rent out a big fellowship hall thing. And surely they draw names for gifts.
I told Bingmama we should go to this lady's funeral.
She said we had better get there early cause there won't be a seat!
In other news....
I have been a day ahead of myself all week and I almost wished all of you a good weekend.
Oh well, whatever day it is, make it a good one.
And fire up the brackets cause basketball starts back up tonight. Yes!

Oh, I do love the obits. They are the best reading in the paper!
Bless MawMaw Eva and her brood.
Can you imagine the stories she could tell....how fabulous!!
I'll bet kids would come up and be all "I'm your great great great grandchild!" and she would be all "what's your name?"
Also, what a fantastic legacy.
i read the garage sale ads. close enough?
