99 and still going strong

The last few times I was working in the old peoples home, there have been few customers. Today one of the regulars came on her own, explaining that many of the other women that used to join her had gotten dement or moved on to other homes, where more care is required.

I asked her how long she had been living there, and she said nine years, "but I wasn't exactly young when I moved in, I was 90". What? 99 years old and cristal clear in her head. Looking good too.

Next time I'll ask her how one does that. Get to 99 and still going strong.
