‘I’m just living’: 108-year-old woman reveals she drinks one glass of wine every Friday
- Annie Wilson, who has spent her whole life in North Carolina, turns 109 on Saturday
- Annie insists there is no secret formula to living this long
- She drinks a glass of wine every Friday and has does for years
It’s the eve of her 109th birthday, and Annie Wilson is treating herself to a glass of wine – as she does every Friday, and has done for years. That one small, weekly glass has been something of a ritual for Annie, who scoffs at the suggestion that she might follow a strict health routine to stay well. Annie, who has spent her whole life in North Carolina, insists there is no secret formula to living this long. In fact, the one thing she seems set on is taking everything in her stride.
‘So many people have asked me that and I don’t do anything special. I’m just livin’,’ Wilson told KHOU 11. ‘Just livin’.’
Annie told KHOU 11 she had a simple upbringing with an older sister, seven older brothers, and a younger brother in Matthews, a suburb of Charlotte, where she would cook with her mother and work on the family farm. ‘We had a good time, we didn’t know anything about being lonesome or bored,’ Wilson told KHOU 11. ‘We just stuck right there and did whatever was to do.’
She is seeing this year’s birthday in with a party at her home, the Brookdale Carriage Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her bevvy of young friends. Her husband passed away in 1993, and her siblings are no longer around.
