A Visit With Anna Brewer

I sat and visited with Anna Brewer for a bit this last weekend. She is 103 years old and in good spirits. She is an amazing woman, who still lives in her own home, with her 3 sons taking turns staying with her and making sure she doesn't go out in the yard and pull weeds or go down the basement stairs and fall. As soon as they leave for a little bit, many times she will do those things while they are not looking. One day last summer, we drove up in her yard and couldn't find her anywhere in the house. She was out on the east side of the house pulling weeds in one of the many flower beds - the irises, if i remember right.

She is fun to talk to and has a bright, quick mind with a sharp wit that makes me chuckle. I have enjoyed knowing her through the years and love visiting her home.
