My grandmother lived to 99. Same thing. She NEVER went to the doctor. Hated hospitals, though she volunteered in one. She believed in taking the stairs, not the elevator. And she laid on her back on her bedroom floor and bicycled her legs in the air every morning for ten minutes. She ate everything. Didn’t overeat and didn’t drink. She wasn’t a talker, but when she spoke, she spoke her mind.
She sounds like my granddad's sister from another mister! He didn't drink, either (got all his ya-yas out as a young man and then never touched the stuff), was deeply devoted to God, a voracious reader, ate whatever he pleased in moderation, did hard physical work for much of his life (was still climbing trees and putting a roof on his house in his 90s), kept his own bees and a garden, lived in the mountains with clean air and spring water, and most important (I think), like your grandmother, never hesitated to speak his mind! 😂 He did not suffer fools, so I'm pretty sure his head would've exploded if he'd lived long enough to see this... he got out just in the nick of time.
My granddad lived to 106, sharp as a tack 'til the end. His secret? "Eat honey every day and stay away from doctors."

Incredible. They don’t make ‘em mike that anymore. I really miss that generation.
Me, too.
Yep. Me, too. 😢
