Will they ever have a world record for the oldest individual who takes an arrow to the knee?

Wow! 103 years old!

It’s a Great Life If You Don’t Weaken....

Or so a friend who was recently called home to God use to say.

She was 101 and 5 months so I guess she had it coming.

She lived well and went well.

Luv you and miss you Stella Beer. xoxoxox
