People wnat to know if she is still coherent pfff!!! she is still walking in heels damn it!!

everyone wants to know the secret to longevity here is what I learned from my great granny and what others had to say.
When I asked her she simply said

"do what makes you happy and eat what you want."
if I ate like her I would have 24/7 indigestion! Also should note that the food supply has only been shitty for about 35 years or so.

She has traveled the world,seen the great pyramids and graduated college.She was also a teacher.Smoked cigs for 45 years and isn't afraid of a drink.

what others said about her at the party

1. she never complains...or as I like to say "don't be a whiny bitch"

2. she loves to live and doesn't think about it too much...when her hubby died 40+ years ago she mourned and then got over it

3.she has maintained a normal weight her whole life

4.she doesn't take medications...that shit will wreck your health

5. she has a strong sense of community having lived in the same area her whole life.She goes to church but isn't fanatical about it

6.Most important....genetics!! she has 2 sisters still going strong in their 90's

wow dude, she looks really good for 100!!! congrats to her!
my great aunt just passed away a few months ago, she was 94. I think her biggest issue was that she barely ate the last 10 years or so.
but yeah, not to take away from your gram's accomplishment...happy b-day!
