I visited my 96 year old mom yesterday in the old folks home. I'm pretty sure she will die soon, her batteries are running out very fast. She is transitioning to heaven very graciously. When I got there, she could barely open her eyes. In a very weak whisper, she said several times, "I'm so sleepy." Half jokingly, I asked her if she would like some coffee. She emphatically said, "I'd love some." I went downstairs and got her a cup. After a couple of gulps, it was almost as if a miracle had happened. Maybe this elixir only works on old Swedes, but who knows.

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

She may be sleepy from medication. You gotta watch those old age homes,often they medicate the residents to make their job easier.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

She looks great for her age and thanks for sharing that with us. You are a very lucky man.

As an old truck driver I can honestly say there has been a lot of loads delivered on time cause of that magic elixir. Sipping a cup right now.
Your mom sure has a wonderful spark in her eyes.
