They do this just about every weekend in this tiny town where they were born — he almost 94 years ago, she almost 91. Dinner at their friend Jill Stuckey's house, with plastic Solo cups of ice water and one glass each of bargain-brand chardonnay, then the half-mile walk home to the ranch house they built in 1961.» Here’s how to help wish Rosalynn Carter a happy 91st birthday On this south Georgia summer evening, still close to 90 degrees, they dab … [Read more...] about The un-celebrity president: Jimmy Carter shuns riches and lives modestly in his Georgia hometown
