My new wish in life is to grow old as gracefully as Momma has...she looks amazing at any age! Juju, I think what you have is lovely. I even like the border and, you're right, anything less and it just wouldn't look good considering the bright colors Momma is wearing. You do mighty fine work!

Just checking in here today! Great new pic and border--very festive, in keeping with the mood of conveyed so nicely by Momma. (Look how flirtatious she is on her wedding day!!) She is some beautiful and vital woman. (I want to know what her advice for living to 100 might be.) So there really was a Bigdog Daddy, huh? Bet there's a tale about that, Juju! Wanna share? Juju, that letter was the best! I know Willard couldn't skip her, especially cuz she's a southern lady. (Best to send Willard something good to eat for insurance, though, LOL!!) I will be tuned in to the Today Show on the 5th for sure. I guess they will notify you in advance if it's a go. Do you know how they confirm?

Momma doesn't even look close to a 100 years old. No way. Great photo and layout, Juju.

Juju, just when I think I've finally caught up with the board, I come across a wonderful thread like this one! I loved Momma's picture with the beautiful red hat!! What a doll!! You picked perfect paper to bring out the beautiful red hat...what a nice job!! Also, I loved your letter to Willard...you are so witty!! I'll be taping the Today Show on Sept 2 so I can see Momma on TV...yay!!

Help! Trip to Arkansas for Bigdog's Momma's 100th birthday is this week. I have on my To Do list to tape the Today Show Sept. 2. I don't watch the Today Show. Just looked it up in TV Guide online, and I see it is a 3 hour show, 7-10 AM. Does anybody know if they consistently do the 100 birthdays during a certain segment? Or do I have to tape all three hours? Thanks, if anybody knows. Well, of course somebody knows. This is the tvclubhouse. Among all of us we know EVERYTHING!

Ooh! Lookit what one of my buddies found for me. From Willard Scott's bio: quote:Scott is a great advocate of honoring centenarians. He wishes happy birthday to over-100-year-olds each Tuesday and Thursday mornings on “Today.” In addition, he substitutes for Al Roker as weather reporter.
Okay, now if anybody knows the time slot, we will be all set. Well, I guess we can watch and tape it tomorrow morning just in case, but since her birthday is Thursday, I am hoping that will be the day. But what time slot?

Ok Juju I just went over to NBC.com...
quote:Willard Scott Birthday and anniversary announcements: If someone you love is celebrating his or her 100th or 100 birthday or a 75th anniversary or over, Willard will try his best to announce it on “Today.” Please send us the following information in writing 3-4 weeks in advance. Our system is not set up as of yet to receive this information via e-mail. We need the full names and addresses of those celebrating; how old they will be on which date and something personal about them. Please be sure to include your daytime phone number so that if it is chosen we can confirm the date it will air with you on the phone. Willard receives hundreds of requests and it is only possible for him to announce twelve on the air each week; however, he sends congratulatory notes to everyone that he cannot announce on the air...so please include the full address. Last but not least, please include a photograph that does not need to be returned. We understand how valuable photographs are, however, the photographs will pass through many hands and it isn’t possible for us to return them. It can be color or black and white of any size.
did you get a confirmation?

OH!!! I never noticed that confirmation part, and I have read that thing MANY times in the past three months. Well, crapola! Nope, no confirmation. Maybe they call you beforehand just to make sure the centenarian is still alive. I sure did put my name and telephone number in there, so at one point I must have read the part about why they wanted it. LOL. Although if you has asked me ten minutes ago before reading Reader's post, I would have said they make you put your own name and telephone number in there so they can confirm authenticity of the sender. LOL.

Momma looks great without the boa but with it - fantastic. She knows how to have fun. Juju, do you think that is one of her secrets for longevity?
