Hello my friends, happy Fall and welcome to Share Your Cup. The party where you share the things in life that make you happy.
Thanks to all of you for your support and for filling my cup. If you are linking for the first time, so happy to have you! I hope you feel welcome!
Today I am taking dinner into an elderly lady who lives up the street from me.
Bertha Is a young ‘103’, yes I said ‘103 year old that lives in a little white house all by herself.
She is an amazing woman. She gets me to thinking? What will I be when I’m 103?
I just wanted to share some of what I have seen when I go there to visit:
Now mind you, I have only lived in the neighborhood for 4 years. Not an old time Alpiner like a lot of people who visit. Still, she knows who I am every time I go there.
One time she was writing a letter. She told me that one of her grandchildren had asked her how she was feeling. She was writing about how thankful she was and asked me to read a bit of it. I was amazed at how legible her writing was.
Another time she told me that she had been to the Dr. for a check up. She said, “I don’t know why I had to go, I told him I feel better than I did at 73”.
She has an astonishing memory and loves life.
She always talks of how blessed she is. Never complains or wishes that the good Lord would take her.
I may not make it to 103, but I sure could learn a lot from this wise woman!
Now let’s jump into features from SYC #74. I missed partying with you all last week and can’t wait to see what you have to share this week!
Remember, if you want to pin any of the features, please do it from their blog.
Debby from My Favorite Things shared her love for the month of September.
Deidre from Simply Simplisticated shared her Fall box that she made from a pallet she picked up alongside the road.
Bliss Ranch made this ‘Rocker’ dresser for her son for the 2nd time. Yes, she has already made one once. I can see a rock star in the future.
Kathy from A Delightsome Life just remodeled her kitchen. The entire thing is darling. One of my favorites is the wall paper inside some of the cabinets. What a fun surprise!
Jeanette from Creating a Life Now made this darling shade to cover an existing light. You won’t believe what she used!
I love custard, so this custard cake shared by Make Mine Lemon was right up my alley!
Now for the two most visited links:
#1 was Goodwill Finds for the Bath by Country Farm Home.
#2 was Book Page Pumpkin by Priscillas,
Thank you everyone, and please grab my button if you were featured.
Now let’s Party!
A few rules and then let the fun begin! 1. I would love for you to be a follower of Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson.
2. Link up a particular post and not your entire blog. Please limit your links to no more than three.

Your neighbor sounds like a darling. The older generation can teach us a lot if we're willing to listen. I have an uncle from jolly old England, with a charming accent, and I love listening to his stories. Thanks for hosting and Happy Autumn, Jann! Blessings, Sandi
Thank you for sharing about your neighbor. My mom will celebrate 99 years in October, but unfortunately she isn't as spry as your friend. Just in the past week, she has quickly declined and is now receiving Hospice Care. Wonderful that your friend is so active and alert and living alone at 103.
Hi Jann...your neighbor sounds like an amazing lady. The minister that married us past away this year at the age of 100.
Wish I could join your party this week, but I'm so busy getting ready for my two upcoming shows that are this Saturday and then the other one next Saturday...so I haven't posted anything new to my blog.
hugs,
Cindy
My grandpa died a month before his 99th birthday and was as sharp as a tack until that day! I love elderly people as they are always so grateful for every little blessing, and help me to see this in my own life. Thanks for hosting - enjoy the rest of your week!
I enjoyed your story about your elderly neighbor. I've learned so much from my older relatives and friends. Such sweet fall features and thanks for a lovely party!
Your neighbor sounds amazing. Good for her! Thanks for hosting - Dawn

What a great story about your sweet neighbor! We all aspire to be just like her! Made me smile today. Thanks for hosting. Catherine
Jann, I want to be just like Bertha when I grow up. What a fabulous lady. She inspires me to have her attitude starting today. Thank you for sharing her with us. Thanks, too, for hosting. I'm off now to view the oh-so creative features. Have a great day!
Thanks for hosting another great party this week Jann! Hugs, Penny
I once asked an elderly friend if she had any regrets... She too was quite old. Her only advice was, "Eat More Junkfood!" -
They teach us the greatest lessons of all, if we listen...
Hope you had a nice trip~
Thanks for hosting another fun party.
Have a Wonderful Weekend~!
