She was a great old gal

Jeanne Louise Calment was a French supercentenarian. She lived in France and lived to be 122 years plus 164 days. She outlived her daughter and a grandson by several decades. She smoked until she was 100, ate chocolate a lot and drank port. She said that her secret to longevity was using olive oil a lot in what she ate. She met Vincent van Gogh and survived two world wars. What an interesting lady! Do you have some long living relatives? My great grandmother lived to be 96, my grandmother lived to 89. I hope that I am as lucky.
