I am watching this from Oregon in USA. I am also 85 years young. This could be me. I live modestly in my own home. I do not want for anything but something to eat and a place to lay my head. She is active and that is important. Keep moving as much as you can. My goal is to be 100 and still doing ok. I hope I make it.

бабушка в молодости красавицей была, и сейчас все черты сохранились. А еще умная и трудолюбивая. Косы заплетает и убирает по старинному у нас такого уже и не встретишь. Приятно смотреть. Спасибо. Бабушке здоровья и многолетия.

When I was a little girl my granny took me out to the meadows and we gathered dry cow dung. She used it for the flower pots... and had the most amazing flowers.

I don't agree that she lives far from civilisation. <br>She's fantastic for her age. Still has her health and an interest in life. She keeps her house clean and organised, cooks etc. God bless her. I wonder what her story is? <br>It can get lonely in old age. She has neighbours and friends which is lovely.

It's happy to see that she still does a lot on her own. But it's also sad that you'd think the younger generation would give a helping hand for free. Older people are on a budget and elders aren't able to do it.

Thank you for letting us see how beautiful every aspect of your life is, in the country! I had my home in the woods (in the countryside), also with 3 dogs, some cats, rabbits, and chickens,... and that life -- knowing everynail that you put for hanging things, and choosing many sticks... each serving a different need, and knowing every tree along the path -- is really a special "knowing" of 'home'. ... and being welcomed at the gate by your dog or cat is sweet! You have a beautiful life! <br>Thank you for welcoming us! 'A long, happy life!" God bless your home. 🙏🙏
