dorothy turns 107, long life

foxyarse says:

They wed in 1956, when she was 54, and Frederick died in 1975. She said: "Our passion was music, dancing and the odd tipple." Sandie Turvey, who runs her residential home, said: "She's fabulous and has an active mind."

lol thats me in 42 years!!! I also swear by my daily tipple! It thins the blood and stops blood clots. Aspirin has been proved to cause heart attacks, so forget the pills and take a tipple! Congratulations to her and God bless her.
