Happy 99th Birthday #JimmyCarter!!

The crowds gathered in Jimmy Carter’s tiny hometown last wknd knew the fmr president hadn’t been seen in public this year. After 7 months in hospice, on the eve of his 99th birthday, they knew he could no longer climb the steps to a balcony overlooking the annual Plains Peanut Festival.

So when a black Chevy Suburban driven by a Secret Service agent slowly turned onto Main Street, there were gasps, & then cheers.

There in the back seat was #JimmyCarter, holding hands with #Rosalynn, his wife of 77 yrs. The waves of applause only stopped when a “Happy Birthday” serenade began.

…On Sun, Carter plans to have a low-key birthday w/ Rosalynn at the Plains home they built in 1961 & where they spend most days sitting together.
