96th Birthday

My mother-in law just turned 96! I hope I can reach her age someday. I don't think she does anything special to stay healthy. She must have some pretty good genes.



The women of four generations

Evey used her balloon to hide her great-grandmother's face!

Evey's brother Miles is near the center with her uncle, his father on the left and I'm on the right. His great-grandfather passed away several years ago.

    96 is wonderful, John! My own mom lived to 94 and my mother-in-law to 98 (but my siblings didn't make it pasts their 50's) So we never know. Great birthday pics!!

      That's right, you have to make the best with what you have now.

      At a lecture on how to live a long healthy life, the lecturer said the most important thing is to pick the right parents so you can get the best genes.

    Your mother-in-law looks great! I bet she lives healthily even though she says she did nothing special to have such a long life - the older generation often ate more moderately and healthily and kept more active than current generations. May she have a wonderful year and more birthdays to come!

    That is quite a feat to live so long in this time. My Dad turned 97 last summer and Mom 90 last Spring.

    Nice to see the several generations celebrating together.

    Kind regards,
    Mike
