97 Dignity With a Twinkle ~ Women's Birthday Tee

Dignity With a Twinkle ~ She Winked at the Bishop Once

She carries 97 years like a title, straight-backed and gracious, right up until she says something that makes the great-grandkids snort juice. The twinkle was never retired, only refined. For the grandmother whose manners are perfect and whose timing is better.

• Great-Grandma's 97th: From the youngest ones, who know her as the fancy lady who tells the best secrets.
• Birthday Tea: Serve it at the table where she holds court and let the twinkle do the rest.
• Born in 1929: Proper since the start, playful since about the same time.
