‘Mazin’ Miss Mable, a Marvel of Modern
Medicine
We motored a few miles on over to Morgan, passing some majestic mountains on the way, to mark the 100th
Valentine’s Day for a marvelous matriarch, my mother-in-law’s sister-in-law, Mable.
We had somehow managed to miss her 100th birthday milestone last month. If she was even minimally miffed about our mess-up, she never did make mention of it. Mighty magnanimous of her, mind you.
We did make it to the mini-exhibit with its much memorabilia…maybe not
a massive museum like the Met, but held at the modern library, it was magnificent enough.
It's mind-boggling, maybe even a miracle, how she's managed to maximize her mortality and I was mighty glad to get to mingle with her, even if just for a moment.
Oh, did I forget to mention? Mable's quite masterful with the pen too...maybe she needs to start blogging...click on the poem to magnify it so you can read it. If it doesn't make you laugh, then I find myself worried about your miserable mood...
Happy 100th, Mable...and may you yet make many more memories!!
And happy Alphabe-Thursday over at Mrs. Matlock's. She mumbled something about a mandate for this week's letter to be M. I'm betting that a multitude of other Alphabetarians hit the mark right on the money...check out their masterpieces by clicking HERE.

Awww, what a nice post about Mable. She really is amazing. Thanks for making our memories much more memorable with your great photos and stories.
What fun!!! I'd love to chat with Miss Mabel!!! She's probably full of magnificent tales! :)
If I could reach 100 in such a state, it would be wonderful !
How blessed she is to reach 100 and still be doing so well. Loved her poem.
What a great M post! Mabel looks amazing for 100 years young and you can tell she is sharp as machete. It boggles my mind to think of all the things she must have witnessed over the years. Have a wonderful weekend, Nan

how sweet! Maybe she'll manage the see your most lovely post! Makes me breath a sign of relief for my mom, who's mounting many years too! {:-Deb
Hello.
I think this is the funniest "M" post I've read so far this week. That Mable...she sure is something...what an amazing woman! It's love, dancing & poetry that keeps her young (smile). Way to go Mable!
Lovely post Anita. Thanks for sharing & visiting.

amazing...
Mable must be quite a character, judging from her poem. What a lot of memories she'd have to share - and I loved the old photos.
I think I love your Aunt Mable!
I absolutely adored this Marvelous Museum of Mable...
Sounds like she had quite a Magnetic personality...
And that poem was too cute... It definitely gave me a little chuckle...
Magnificent post for the letter "M"!
Thanks for linking.
A+
You're so good with your letter M. There are so many words to marvel on. It's great to know she made it to the perfect 100, and wish her many more years to come!
How awesome! That first pic and Marvelous Mabel!! I only hope I can look as good at 1/2 her age!
Magnificent, marvelous Mable! Your post was truly perfect. Mable looks fantastic and I love her poetry :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
