89 Refuses to Act Old, Politely ~ Women's Birthday Tee

Refuses to Act Old, Politely ~ Thank You, She Has Plans

Offer her the early seating at 89 and she will decline with a smile and a better restaurant in mind. She has a standing hair appointment, a bridge rematch and a very firm opinion about who should drive. For the grandma who heard take it easy and politely declined.

• Good Manners Gift: From the grandkids who got the lecture on thank-you notes and still write them.
• Dining Room Debut: She will walk into the birthday dinner on her own, thank you, and sit where she likes.
• Born in 1937: Raised to say please, and to mean no.
