Visiting Aunt Velva, 105 years old

Had a wonderful visit with Aunt VELVA today in Rochester, MN. She's 105 years old. We were quite concerned at first (well, we are still concerned) because she was asleep in her chair, and bent over, when we arrived and did not wake up. Nurses reported that she sleeps most of the time and barely talks. We just stayed with her in her room, looking at her photo albums, and she eventually woke up and gave us a big smile and talked some .... sometimes strangely, granted. Then she wanted to wander around, so Ron pushed her some and she also used her foot, too, in the wheelchair. We were there from 10 am to 5 pm, minus the lunch hour, and for a couple of hours, she was awake

She liked to look at the photo cards Joan has been sending, 

especially the older picture.

Here's the (Shutterfly) photo book Joan sent for her brthday

"That's me!" she said.
