[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ds's grandma gardened and baked for farmer's markets into her 90's. She didn't host Thanksgiving because she didn't like to. MIL always commented that Grandma would cook for everyone but her family. She was active, never smoked. [b]Outlived two husbands and a child[/b]. Arthritis is what finally slowed her down at 93.[/quote] This is important to recognize. My mom is 91 (with great-grand-children) and is active every day in senior-stuff. All of her friends in their 80s and 90s, though, have outlived children and grandchildren. My mom says that is due to surviving the Great Depression and WW2. You just push on. Even the loss of my father 2 years ago did not slow her down much. Just push on. [/quote] Agree. Immigrants of that time are also outstanding, in their resourcefulness, common sense, ambition, energy and capabilities.[/quote]
