Awww she´s so cute.

So, walking is the key. I do a lot of that every day so hopefully I´ll reap the benefits as she clearly has.

Sadly though, the article mentions her daughters whom she has outlived. That´s not so easy to deal with. sigh

That's what struck me, that she outlived her daughters. Just the thought of burying your child is more then I could ever bear.

I got as far as a the photo before everything froze on me.

She looks fantastic. Fit, healthy, everything.

I gather from the other posts she out lived her daughters and I understand this must be a terrible thing to lose your children.

Assuming, however, her daughters lived to a good age themselves, imagine being there to watch over your children's entire lives.

Its the only thing that worries me about dying - not being there for my daughter, almost like abandoning her.

Losing any loved one is heartbreaking but losing a child must be unbearable.

Nice to see that you are back -bad- girl!

George Burns lived to be 100 years old. His Philosophy was to live one day at a time in moderation, laugh and sing. In other words, he was saying enjoy life and stay active.
