McDonald's customer gets party -- on 100th birthday

[June 09, 2009]  BRIGHTON, Mich. (AP) -- A Michigan woman has celebrated her 100th birthday at the same eatery she's visited regularly for the past 15 years -- McDonald's. Georgia Boynton stopped last week at the restaurant in Brighton for her customary hamburger and coffee. She got a surprise party with cake and balloons.

Restaurant manager Irene Burelle said that when staffers realized last year that Boynton was 99 they decided to do something special for her next birthday. They made sure family members would bring her in for her birthday last Wednesday. Boynton told the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus that she doesn't feel 100 years old. She said her longevity secret is loving her family and being happy. Brighton is about 35 miles northwest of Detroit. ___ Information from: Livingston County Daily Press & Argus, http://www.dailypressandargus.com/ [Associated Press] Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
