Littlefoil's great-grandmother turned 91 this month. She is a lifelong Mainer who is as comfortable chopping fire wood as she is baking pies.
She can clean a fish, handle a rifle and drive a snowmobile. When it comes to cribbage, she takes no prisoners.
When she was eleven years old, she memorized The Gettysburg Address. That was 80 years ago and last night she recited it for us. (Apologies for the low volume...you might want to turn your system volume up for the full effect...)
Awesome.
We even have a funny out-take to share!
