Bubbles Philipps

Perhaps you've heard or red about people in your country who have reached the age of 100, but I doubt you've heard their life stories directly from them. The woman in this episode is presently 99 and will be 100 in a few months. She's amazingly alert and in good shape. In fact, she still drives her a car and does her own shopping. Ivy Philipps, better known as Bubbles, started her life on a farm in the peace River area of Canada. She started her nursing training in 1941 at Vancouver General Hospital and worked as a nurse till she retired. She has now outlived 3 husbands, and to help her back and hip problem she uses an exercise machine. She's quite an inspiration to all of us "youngsters", so please listen to what she has to say.
