Florence’s Birthday

Today is Florence’s birthday. Were she still with us, she would be turning 104. I remember when I would visit her she would say that she wanted to live to be 100 and have Willard Scott wish her a happy 100th birthday. This is how she celebrated her 17th birthday in 1923. Happy birthday, Mimi!
