I write about my neighbor once in awhile Betty. She will be celebrating her 103rd birthday June 12. Just the other night about 9:00 she pulled in from the grocery store in her Cadillac, oh yes Betty grocery shops herself and drives. Recently I had to go to the Chula Vista Rec Center to check out how we were going to set up the room for our social club event, Betty was there playing cards. Talking to staff they said she is there 3 or 4 days a week.
