Finally ....

Elizabeth Bolden may be breathing a sigh of "finally" this week - after becoming the world's oldest person. You wouldn't think it would be that hard - but she had to wait her turn. The title was only recently given up by the woman previously considered to be the world's oldest person - Maria Esther de Capovilla who died on the weekend of pneumonia. Elizabeth Bolden was born 11 months after Maria - in 1890 - yes, that's right - 1890! Elizabeth celebrated her 116th birthday a couple of weeks ago with her two favourite things - candy and ice cream (mmmmm .... ice cream).
