Grandma's New Ride

Grandma ('Mama G.G.' to the boys) spent the morning with us this week. With the holidays behind us, we are back on our weekly schedule of visits and lunch. It's good for all of us. It's usually a three-ring circus with the boys vying for her attention, along with the fighting among them.

The boys like Grandma's new toy that she got in November:

I can't believe she turns 90 this year!

It's an electric blue (matches Aunt Patsy's Forrester) easy-to-use walker that Grandma has learned to love. It has a seat that allows Grandma to hide things in the basket underneath, but the seat also gives her a rest if there are no benches when she's out somewhere. The walker has given her more independence, but most importantly, it has helped her with her balance. And now we can take Grandma with us to the museum or anyplace else once it's warmer outside.
