What me...retire!

Portola Valley, California

This lovely lass has a secret.
She's 92 and still comes to work, now and then.
She and her husband once owned this hardware store.

This is a lovely portrait, Virginia. Her store looks like a fun place to explore too.

Terrific job of putting a subject in context, Virginia.

Very good portrait of this courageous lady.

I'm guessing that her customers have no idea of her age. Great photo.

In her element. I'll bet she knows where everything is, what it's for and how to use it. Perfect illustration for the story.

WOW, GREAT shot of her! I think going to work is a big part of what keeps her able!
