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)
Hi Mary
Hope that all of us if we ever reach 90, be healthy and active! :)
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.
