    Darn, some people just don’t age well. My gramma looked like that when she was 80 or 90. And this girl, she was milking cows, feeding animals, carrying water, and feeding a hundred workers that worked with my grampa building houses. She worked her ass off every day for a good 40 years until she could non more. My grampa, I remember, used to pull a brick layers tool cart along town to and from the worksite and his shop. Sometimes he was carrying a 55gal of water for mixing concrete, sometimes it was the dry sand, gravel and cement. Maybe its the drinking.
