Bye Bye Betty, Betty Goodbye...

I said farewell to Betty today who has finished her rehabilitation. Here is a pic of me with Betty (82) and her husband Jack (89). They have been married 61 years and attribute their good health (apart from the odd knee replacement and heart murmur) to not smoking or drinking.

Betty was a great room mate who was of sound mind and had a sharp tongue. We talked about a few things including the secret to her marriage. She told me as quick as a flash that she would have left Jack numerous times but didn't know how to drive back then. So she stayed and they worked it out.

Jack was also quite the character. Last time he was at the heart clinic the Doctor asked him if he would live to 100. Jack replied, "you tell me!!"

He also got pulled over by a booze bus a little while ago and when the officer asked him when the last time he had a drink was, Jack thought about it and replied - 1962.
