@lisamelton Yeah. She had books to read and we wrote letters. I am glad that now most folk have access to the outside world, whether gaming or chatting.
It’s just when iPads were released, my first thought was of her and how it might’ve changed her last few years. And this story reminded me of that. :)

⬆️ @CStamp @lisamelton This lady is from a different era. She was born before #WWII even started. She's lived through it all, including the #Anschluss of #Austria into the #German Reich, #NevilleChamberlain's appeasement of #Hitler, and latter's annexation #Czechoslovakia. She thoroughly deserves rest now. However, looking at her laid-back life, it seems she will see the beginnings of the next World War as well. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/police-visit-91-year-old-woman-who-missed-check-in-calls-only-to-find-her-playing-video-games-in-her-bedroom-and-trying-to-beat-her-record/
