Longboat Key resident celebrates 100th birthday

Longboat Key resident Mildred Clark turned 100 on Nov. 15 and said she just wants to keep going. 

"If you don't have anything wrong with you, you've got to be happy for that," Clark said. 

Clark spends a lot of time with her great-granddaughters, who are 12 and 17 years old. She said they keep her on the go. Every morning, Clark spends time doing wordscapes, which makes the day go by fast. However, when you're 100, everything starts going faster, she said. 

The family will celebrate with some other loved ones in town and a Roaring 20's themed party to match the decade of Clark's birth.
