I worked for a volunteer organization a few years ago, and through them, visited a woman once a week, for two years. She was 98 when my visits started. I went to her 100th birthday party and she passed away a few months later. She was ill with heart problems and also blind. She and I laughed out loud at every visit. She was a charmer.

Many in my family have lived into their 90's. Currently, my dad's first cousin  is 96, frail, but what a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.  Another first cousin of his was born November 12, 1913 (11-12-13) and is creeping up on her 100th birthday.  Both cousins are living nearby. 
My dear Mom would have been 95 on December 3, and my dad's brother passed away this spring just before his 96th birthday.

The oldest person I know is 100 years old, she was the lady who taught me to play the piano when I was a child, she still teaches a few adults to play including my wife. She is a wonderful old lady, full of knowlage, I see her when I drop off or pick my wife up at hers, she loves to talk about politics and whats going on in the world. She loves to sit at the piano with me and play a duet, and she will play any piece of Chopin as good as anyone, she has a lovely light touch on the keys still. She had a big party on her 100th birthday, all her friends were there both now and from years gone by, and of cause all her old pupils, well those of us that are still around anyway. Up until about four years ago, she used to ride her bike around the village where she lives, and carry her shopping home in the basket on the front, and she could bend over and touch her toes up until about that time, not sure if she can still do that now, as she recently had a hip replacement. She is a truly remarkable woman.

Iv'e  known (without going into much detail) family AND friends that seem,for some reason to live longer when they either PLAY music or LISTEN to music...I don't read notes or music...but I do play the keyboard/piano...I'm 52 now& hope to be making music till I pass. I always relieve stress whenever I play or listen to my own recorded stuff. (or other favorites)...music seems to have very good stress relieving properties.(And we all know that stress can take away valuable years from a life), So...on that note...Rock on (to whatever you like) and live long!!

There was a lady in my little town that just recently died at the age of 106.They said she was pretty much active till she had a spell. When I saw her pic in the paper, I realized it was the cute , short woman I used to work with in the 70s in the hospitlal. She was a ward clerk, adn I was an  LPN. She had a charming scottish acent, Romos, BTW.  I had seen her in the 80s too ,b/c she showed up at my next door neighbor's house with her blind son. My nieghbor asked me in and I played the lap dulcimer while her blind son accompanied me on the piano.   There was an article and a picture of her 6 years ago , in the paper when she reached 100.  ( sorry about the typos )
