How does one live to be 100?

On my weekend getaway last weekend. I went to a birthday party for a woman I went to church with all my life growing up. Dathea is one of the nicest people you would ever meet. Very sweet, polite and always very well dressed. She is 100 years old now. Many people ask how she has lived such a long life. I have never asked, as I have it figured out.




She NEVER Married or had KIDS!



That's how you live to be 100!


I'm lucky to have made it to 40.

He he - now that is funny and probably true. Now if you tell me she smokes like a chimney, lives on McDonalds and drinks like a fish I will so believe you. Hope you enjoyed your time away and got some rest!

Linda said...

She's never married and has no kids...I'd say she's a pretty smart woman!

Hope you have a great week!

My husband's grandpa is 97 and still kicking. He's made it this far by sitting on his butt giving orders and expecting others to wait on him hand and foot while he does nothing to help himself.
Sounds like a plan to me!

haha! My great grandma lived to be 100 w/ a cheatin' husband, 3 kids, and raised 2 of her grandchildren. I attributed it to snortin' snuff and drinkin' port wine. Weird.

My great uncle lived to 101.... he was late to his 99th birthday party because he was getting his drivers license renewed.

On his 100th birthday, he played the drums in a polka band.

He was married for... get this... 83 years.

There might be some truth to that! Although my Godmother married twice, she never had children and lived to be almost 97!

nikkicrumpet said...

SO TRUE! My kids are killing me, but not nice and quickly. No, they are slowly torturing me to death.

Karine said...

hello ...
I do not get confused, sometimes I do everything wrong, I'm not very good in English, sometimes I still need the help of Google, I am always very careful about what I will write because we can understand things in different ways I know you love your kids, and you have a good humor I love your way of being, please I am sorry if what I wrote seemed so

ups, I would forget to tell you, thank you for your compliment, but the house is not mine, is the apartment of my friend who is with the Santa hat, her name is Carol, but the nickname is her poses, and she is the mother of a beautiful boy named CauĆ£, and he also has Down syndrome

have a great week
