Only one in my family that I can think of is my Aunt Virginia (who I was named after). She just died a few years ago at age 97. Exactly one month before her 98th birthday. She was in good health until 3 weeks before she died.
Like Ann's Mother, she was very involved. She planted a garden until she was in early nineties. I mean a very big garden. She froze and canned everything so she could eat out of her freezer in the winter. She played bridge (duplicate) and when she stopped driving in her nineties her bridge partners came to her house to they could still play. She was a music teacher and continued to play piano in church until she was 94 or 95.
I think that is one of the keys - to be involved. I am not involved anymore. One other thing she did was she got up very early in the morning, anywhere from 4:30 to 5:30. She worked around the house and then ate breakfast, most of the time it consisted of eggs and bacon

And she loved the fat on the pork roast.
Bacon's the key! This forum has once again proved itself to be remarkable. It has found the fountain of youth.
