Betty is 96 today!

Happy birthday, Betty! She's almost as old as my grandfather, but she sure knows more than my grandfather. He doesn't know his mind.

I am sorry to hear that. Yeah, she is still sharp as a tack.

Thanks.

It's great that she is.

I can't believe she is 96. That is amazing!

And still going strong!

I'm glad she's had a great life.

Poor Betty. lol

I guess now we just have to say that something is "the greatest thing since Betty White".

Nothing's as great as Betty. lol

It's amazing. There are people in their 60's who have always had Betty White in their lives. My parents are in their 70's and, with the exception of maybe the first 10 years or so, Betty has always been in their lives too.

Betty has been around for everyone. That's great

Holy smokes! I don't think I have ever seen such a young picture of her before! I don't think I would of known it was her. Since I now do I can see it in the face.

I hadn't seen one either, but she was a cute kid.

Lol. She has mentioned it on a number of occasions.

Betty must be taking it easy. Haven't seen her as often as we used to.

I hope she's well.
