100 years old and still going strong.
This post is about me rather than motels. Well not really about me but about my Gram. On Saturday 1st August over 90 people gathered at the new Verandah Function centre in Hamilton to celebrate my Gram’s 100th Birthday. She is a very wonderful lady whom I spent years living with as a child and admire immensely.
The family put together a power point presentation for the event and it showed how much she has given to others throughout her lifetime always looking after people be it family, neighbours, evacuees during the war or employers and their children.
Her life has seen many changes and in relation to flight she has been alive to see the progression from the first flight across the English Channel to Richard Branson developing a space shuttle for tourists.
She now lives in a rest home and spends her days knitting dolls for staff, other residents, families and anyone else she thinks needs one. Even at 100 she is still giving to other people. She is a true inspiration and if I am able to do half of what she has done in her life in mine I will be happy.

With those genes, I guess you’ll be hanging in there for a few more years yet!
Great family celebration of a life that has seen some amazing changes…
