one tough grandma

i love the advocate, a magazine given out to our neighborhood, i believe it's for all of east dallas/lakewood/m-streets. anyway, in the most recent publication, i found an article about lillian, a 90+ woman that has a LOT of 'spunk' in her step. she has a couple of great lines in the article, but my favorite:

In her presence, one begins to sense that Rudd, whom many might peg as a 60- rather than a 90-something, might hold some secret about life and its answers. And then you get it:

Peering out her living room window at rusty ring above her driveway, she says, simply, “Basketball. When I am feeling blue, I can just go out and shoot some hoops.”

when i grow up, i wanna be like lillian!
