This is a hoot, and she's a pretty and spry as the day is long...dunno, maybe something to it, but I just love her story!

She is just too cute. Her laugh is infectious!
I looked up the Dunrovin Country Store on the Internet and it is up for sale!! Only $450,000, inventory sold separately. I hope the new owners keep selling Wilma's Snake Oil!

Any NC farmgirls have an interest in being a shopkeeper?
Isn't she a hoot?! I just loved where she found the recipe...in that old family bible! She sure didn't look 101 did she--how pretty her skin was, golly.
Miss Wilma, as adorable as she is, you might just well be named after her!!!

Miss Wilma, don't delay in asking your momma and daddy about your name while you still can. I asked about my weird name and got the answer, but never thought to ask about my middle name, Louise. I remember my dad whistling the song "Louise" when I was a kid. I have the sheet music "somewhere safe", will have to go find it and see when it was published. I have one aunt left who was friends with mother since grade school and have to ask her questions while she's still with us.
That video was great, what a super personality that lady has and still so sharp. Thanks for sharing.

Wow...she's as sharp as a tack! I should be that sharp. :) You can tell by her laughter and vivacious manner that's a main reason why she has lived for so long. She seems like a genuinely happy person! And...she's a very cute little lady!
