Today is my dad's 91st birthday!

[MissMillie]

Yesterday, over Sunday dinner, he told me that my sister pointed out to him that no male in our family has ever lived to be 91. (I joked with him: "Well, you haven't yet either, Dad. You have one more day!&quot

Well, he made it.

The doctor says he's healthier than a lot of her patients that are half his age.

So, here's to my Dad, Lenny. I'm lucky to have him.

4. You are blessed.

Make a note as to how he got so far, so healthy! I look back at my folks and blame diet. Trans fats were a staple prior to about 1980. Olive oil EV would have been a far better choice. I feel they would have been better off to stick with their ancestral diet rather than the American accommodations. Grains and potatoes are fine, sugars no. Fat free dairy was a stab at heart disease, but deprived the body of nutrients it needed and historically had. Organic ricotta for example, whole milk. And exercise with actual circulation.

7. I give my mom a lot of the credit

Early in their marriage, as the family grew, my Dad had to work 2 or 3 jobs to keep food on the table for all of us. It was a matter of survival to keep him healthy. His job was physical, so he had plenty of "exercise," but it was also outdoor work, and Mom made sure he would have warm clothes and hearty meals--whatever he needed to be able to continue to work.

And we couldn't afford the processed food that was making its way into American life. Mom baked bread, and whatever desserts we had were homemade.

After my twin sister and I got into school (we were the youngest), Mom was able to work as well, which allowed my Dad the opportunity to spend less time at work and more time with his family. But we kept him busy.

Mom kept him busy with home improvement projects.
