I have known Mrs Dorothy for 30 years. She proudly says her friends lovingly call her Perky Butt. If you live in North Little Rock's Lakewood area, you have seen her. Every morning, she is on a mission to get her 3 mile walk in; her scoliosis does not stop her.
Last fall, I pulled up to her house to photograph her and found her in the yard working on her leaf pile with blower. I suggested we hire someone, but she quickly replied, "honey, what would I do then.. sit in that house all day?"
This morning, I called to see if she needed anything. She got me tickled over the COVID-19 toilet paper situation as she said "when I was little, we had an outhouse in Grant County and used Sears Roebuck pages instead of toilet paper. I don't know why people are freaking out about toilet paper, they just need to save some magazines."
Our call ended as she said: "I'm nearly 100 years old and I have never experienced anything like this. Listen honey, don't you worry about me. People think because I am a widow I can't take care of myself but I have faith this will work itself out."
At 93, I want to be like her.
