This was my second visit to 91-year-old Mrs. J. I came with a list of questions about her favourite foods, memories and songs. In addition to discovering that we were born one day apart (plus 46 years), we had a lively chat about her favourite fruit (pomegranate!) and veg (parsnips!). After she recalled the song she and her husband danced to the first night they met, she was astounded when I pulled out my phone and put it on for her. This led to a very enjoyable sing along and some dancing in our chairs to Elvis Presley, Tony Bennet and Willie Nelson. Mrs. J said she was the life of the party in her youth and she still has a great set of pipes even in her golden years.
