It really amazing to think what they have witnessed in their lifetime.

From horses to tractors, running water, an electrical grid, automobiles, airlines.

Your aunt watched a railway be built and torn up in her lifetime.

**SASKFARMER3** · May 6, 2012, 08:59

Forgot about that. Her husband was a railway
man. He has been gone 30 years or more.

My own dad is 100 in October as well.Still married to his first wife and in a nursing home in Saskatoon.He farmed with me till he was about 88 and stiil is very aware of the seasons and always asks what field i am seeding to what grain etc.He has always looked at least 10 years younger than he was.I think it is in his genes and I don't think I have as many of the long life ones as he is blessed with.

Congrats to your dad. Mine still farms with us he's
83.

Maybe your aunt never stressed out every time it rained, or didn't rain?
