Still Adventurous at 93


Meet our dear friend Agnes, an inspiration to all who know her!

This past Saturday Landon talked his dad into a ride on the Harley. Denea, Jake, Alycia and I were all sitting out back on the patio when we heard the motorcycle out front, horn honking. In just a few minutes Steve calls the house phone from his cell and tells us we must all come out front and "see." Oh my! What a surprise to see Agnes sitting behind Steve grinning from ear to ear exclaiming, "I'm 93 and look at me!!"

It seems as they rode past her house she was out mowing her lawn. They stop, Landon gets off the bike and tells her he will finish the mowing. Steve, in jest, suggested Agnes hop on for a ride while Landon mowed. To his astonishment and before he could call Landon over to assist, Agnes was climbing on board and ready to go!

Definitely a "Kodak moment." We printed a copy of the above picture and gave it to her before church on Sunday. She in turn proudly showed it to everyone she could.

I can only hope that at 93 I have a zest for life like Agnes. Memento Vivere!
