My great-aunt is turning 99 years old today! It's so amazing to think she was already an adult during the Great Depression, or when talking pictures started! Although, she doesn't actually remember either of those things .. not because she's lost her memory but because she just wasn't paying attention. She didn't care to go to the movies, and if you mention the Great Depression she says "I wonder if that's why I lost my job!" lol!
I made a video interview with her last year for my Documentary film class -- if you have a few minutes, it's really fun to see what a spunky lady she is! The person asking the questions is my mom, so you're not getting to hear my voice just yet ;-D

What a lively soul! She sounds like she had some wild times. how wonderful for you to have her in your life. I'd be pumping her for vintage hair info constanty. :-)
Do you mind if I share this post on my blog?
She really is! Sometimes I think she has more energy than me, and she's over 70 years older! lol
I don't mind at all if you share it, thank you!
How wonderful! She's so animated and lively!! I bet she could spend hours telling stories of when she went dancing :) I see a bit of Patricia Neal in her when I look at the photos at the top!
It would be wonderful to live to 99! Tell your aunt I send her leprechaun luck and birthday greetings! ;-P
Happy Birthday to your Great Aunt! She is a hoot! I loved watching the video and hearing about the fun times she had dancing. She reminds me of my own Grandma who just passed away almost a month ago at 90. Your Great Aunt was quite a beauty too -- love those photos at the top of the post. :)
She is so adorable and feisty!
Happy birthday Aunt Annie! :D
<3 I love how spunky she is! Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks to Lisa for sharing this on her blog - I would never have got to see it otherwise. What a glorious person to have in your life. I hope I have 1/2 her spirit at her age! Cherish her - she is a jewel!
This is a wonderful video. Love hearing stories from the past. Your great aunt is funny in a lovely way :)
oh wow, I love the video!
What a vivacious lady! Is she still w/ us? Sounds to me like she danced around my native NJ! Shared this on my blog.
@Jeannee She is still with us! Going strong at 101! :D
