Very inspiring. Life expectancy has generally gone up. Though doubts remain regarding the quality of life. But looks like Lorna is an exception and she is a leading a healthy life.
ReplyDeleteOld age is not when your next birthday is... It is when the next meetings with your opthamologist, hip surgeon and urologist are. Lorna looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteShe looks amazing - and seems to be enjoying life, which is wonderful. I suspect that might be part of the reason for her longevity.
ReplyDeleteShe looks faaaaaaabulous!
ReplyDeleteShe looks wonderful. She's upright. I had a 92 year old patient on Thursday. He looked rough and I reminded him that he can stop treatment at any time, it's up to him.
ReplyDeleteUsually, it is best not to listen to their secrets to grow old healthy
ReplyDeleteShe looks astonishingly well. Good for her.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, she looks 60.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly doesn't look like 110 years old. That's amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow! I had Aunt that made to 103. I still have two Aunts and Uncle left. All in there 90's
ReplyDeleteI saw her on the news, she looks and sounds terrific! She says her secret is keeping up with her hobbies and her friends and social life. Does reading, writing and commenting on blogs add up to all that? Or would I have to actually get out and talk to people?
ReplyDeleteOn our news, God Bless her, she is doing so well.
ReplyDeleteI would never guess she was that old.
ReplyDeleteA long life,
ReplyDeleteOdd this, A friend just posted a picture of her mother, my friend is 80, her mother is 101 and still driving around in her little red Honda. Imagine having someone to call Mummy when you're 80. It's amazing to live that long but we have to remember it is extremely rare.
