Lit

[Wewild]

I know a lady that needs to be recognized. She tunred 85 this year and has recently told us she won't be able to work every Thursday to keep up the house. Her name is Elisabeth. We always called her Lit.

Life is amazing.

One of the janitors at my daughter's school retired year before last, at the age of 90. Her name is Miss Effie. She may have retired, but she still hosts the all school end of school playday at her farm...and says she intends to continue.

These women are wonders, Wewild.

There's a man and woman a few miles down the road...both in their late 80's, running a 300+ head operation by themselves...they've got 2 sons that help out every now and then, but not often...some of the hardest working people I know of...I see the lady out every morning feeding her horses...carries 10 or so 50 pound square bales out right around 5:00a.m. every morning

I wouldn't be suprised to see her get up close to 100 years old before it's her time...same way with her husband...they are in good health for their age...tough people they are...I don't think their time will be up until they decide they've had enough, and they're ready to move on ...they are some of the nicest people around too...every time I pass the lady in the morning...she'll sit the bale down on the ground...wave at me, pick it back up, and go on with her business...no matter how much of a hurry she's in, she still stops her work for a second just to wave

I think that the fact that these people are hard workers is what keeps them alive and doing well. It is when people sit down that problems start. God put Adam and Eve in the garden and told them to get to work(my interpretation) so I believe that we are meant to work.

Dun, do you mean that lady is single? Some man should have snatched up a hard working lady like that.

Her husband died back in the late 60s and she's been on her own ever since. She's probably never found a man since then that can keep up with her.

I had a neighbor lady who was 91 and an avid gardener. I stopped by one day with a load of sand to ask if she wanted some and she grabbed a shovel and helped me scoop sand. Said gardening kept her young. She lived to be 96 and died at home.

 

[Lammie]

Lady down the road from us has a small dairy that she runs alone. She's in her 90's now and says she's worked three husbands to death.

My Husbands Gran was 97 when she died she worked until she was 81. she always slept in an armchair, then one day she went to bed and that was it she never got up again. died peacefully of old age. God rest her soul.
