Lydia Newton celebrates her 112th birthday with friends and family making her among the 20 oldest living human beings on earth. Lydia, born March 23, 1893, shares oatmeal every morning with her 90 year old daughter Margaret Rader in their triple wide trailer at a small trailer park outside of town. "I eat oats with half and half and we don't watch the fat let me tell you" says Lydia. "We were never out to make a lot of money, just to live. We made our own toys out of rubber bands and spoons and I think we were a lot happier than kids today" says lydia who has not had a cold or flu for 23 years. As for politics..."It goes in one ear and out the other. I don't care who the next president is. They are all a bunch of liars. I have decided that if the men can't run this country its about time they give a woman a chance."
