"Former President Jimmy Carter's Surprise Appearance at Plains Peanut Festival"
Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, made a rare public appearance at the Plains Peanut Festival in their Georgia hometown, marking the first time they have been seen publicly in over seven months. At 98, Jimmy Carter is the oldest living and longest-lived U.S. president, and he will turn 99 on October 1. The Carters have largely retreated from the spotlight due to health challenges, with Jimmy Carter starting hospice care earlier this year and Rosalynn Carter being diagnosed with dementia. Despite their health issues, the couple remains at peace and in love, cherishing the time they have together.
