Happy 104th Grandma Carpenter!!!!

Below is an announcement from the Rockford Squire newspaper in Rockford, Michigan highlighting Grandmother Carpenter's 104th birthday on Tuesday, March 25, 2008.

We had a great Easter Sunday today, as Grandma was at Scott's parents house for dinner and birthday cake in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My Dad remembered that we could do a video chat using our webcams. So, Great-Grandma was able to see Travis "live" for the first time, and how big Nolan and Barrett have grown too! According to my Dad, she was "amazed" at being able to talk to us in Wyoming over the computer, and see us too! Our family often thinks about all the technological advances that Grandma has lived to see, and that amazes us too!

Enjoy the excerpt from her local paper...



"Happy birthday for the 104th time!
Mary Carpenter, lifelong resident of Rockford, will celebrate her 104th birthday on Tuesday, March 25! Wouldn't it be nice for Squire readers to celebrate with her by engulfing her with birthday cards on her very special day? Mary's address is Bishop Hills, 4951 Eleven Mile Road, #28, Rockford MI, 49341.
Happy, happy birthday Mary" from your friends at The Rockford Squire, Rockford's original hometown newspaper, that in your earlier years you will recall as the Rockford Register."
