Queen E2 is 90 and a picture of good health! She joins the rank of the greatly blessed.
*****
Old age –
Visons of tottering, of illness, pain
And a wheelchair near by.
But the blessed nonagenarians
Debilitating diseases and second childhood
Are spared and active remain

A special tea set for the Queen on her 90th birthday ( President’s gift)
Long live the Queen!
(How beautiful she looked as a young queen in 1953)
Yes, Jassmine, to be able to live to a ripe old age and still be healthy and mobile is a real blessing, but that’s not all. To have one’s loved ones close by and close to you is an even greater blessing.
Hi Mary
Hope that all of us if we ever reach 90, be healthy and active! :)
