Listen up, seniors. If a trim, fit and sunny 101-year-old can’t deliver the secret of longevity, who can?
Jeff Miller’s aunt, Lou Wells Miller, arrived at the dry cleaners on North King Street on Monday to enjoy cake and ice cream, a big stack of birthday cards, well-wishing and hugs to celebrate her 101st birthday, which was Feb. 16.
What’s the secret? the Lightning asked.
“Exercise,” she said. All kinds. Keep moving. “Everybody at Carolina Village lives forever.” Wow.
What’ll she have at the bar? “Water, no liquor.”
What’s her favorite food? “Yogurt.” (This is getting depressing.)
How about dessert? “I’d say ice cream.” What kind? “Butter pecan.”
How is she liking the current president of the United States? “I’m all for him.”
Favorite TV show? “Jeopardy.”
She’s a voracious reader, we hear. What does she like to read? “Biographies.” Of Americans or everyone? “All kinds. … I enjoy reading the newspaper.”
That certainly would account for a long and happy life.
