Great-grand-mom

My Great-Grandmother was a wonderful woman who lived life to the fullest. When she was 82 years old I asked her what she did to keep in such good health. At 82 years old she was running 5 miles a day.

She told me her secret.

Everyday I eat a bowl of oatmeal, instead of putting sugar in the bowl I put in a table spoon of gun powder. It has keep my healthy and feeling young. Her 39 year old boy friend said he had a hard time keeping up with her.

I said Great-grand-mom, that is wonderful. You are have such a great life and so full of vigor, I hope I can be in as good health when I am 82.

She lived another 15 years in great health till the day she died. On that day she was running 4 miles and was struck by a car that lost control on the ice.

When she died she left 6 sons, 4 daughters, 29 grand-children, 57 great-grandchildren, 75 great-great-grandchildren, and a 15 foot hole in the crematory wall.
