and on their own, Bette ….

and on their own, Bette and Buzz were ready for fun. They built their retirement home in Canyon Lake and purchased a motorhome, a boat and a golf cart—all “big boy toys.” They toured the United States in their motorhome a few times, the longest single trip lasting three-and-a-half months.

When they returned home after one of the trips, they found that nine close friends and family members had passed. Buzz decreed, “We’re moving back to town. Leisure World, here we come.” Bette reluctantly followed, but was not enthusiastic to live with “those old folks,” but she quickly changed her mind. Within three weeks of moving to Leisure World, Bette and Buzz were bowling, playing pool, playing golf, dancing in a dance group and actively participating in a travel club. Bette has been a “happy camper” ever since. She has lived in Leisure World for 34 years.

As Bette approaches the next century, she remains optimistic and in good spirits. Positivity has served her well these past 100 years. “I’ve had a wonderful life. I have a nice home. I have enough money. What else can I ask for?”
