A Century of Life

My mom, Luza, of Cuco and Yayo fame, will be celebrating her 100th birthday in a few weeks.

100.

A century.

If you've been reading my blog for a while you know that she gives me some of my best material. She's still pretty funny and with it. And I appreciate that you've all come to know and love her.

We're going to be celebrating, of course. That's what we do best. She's very excited about her party, too.

I'd love it if you would join us in wishing Luza a Happy 100th Birthday.

Please leave a comment here on this post with your good wishes. I'm going to be compiling all the greetings into a book to be presented to her on the actual day, Sunday, February 23rd. 

She reads in both English and Spanish, so send your greeting in the language that is most comfortable for you.

Also, she loves stuff like this.

Gracias.

In case you haven't seen this already, please enjoy my mom (back when she was only 96!) explaining how the internet search engines work.

I give you.....Cuco and Yayo.

"Senk Got Ees Fraidei" (read in Spanglish, please)

My mom, Luza, who is 97 is still constantly reading and learning.

She just recently learned that TGIF meant "Thank God it's Friday." She liked that. A lot.

So every Friday when she comes over here, she starts the weekend with her version, which sounds more like:

"Senk yu, Lort, eet ees Fraidei!" (But that's not important right now.)

Here's Luza wishing you a Happy Friday. (Or is it, "Fraidei....?")

Japi Fraidei! from my mom and the rest of my big, fat, Cuban family. =D
