My Mom






Yesterday was such a nice day so when I went to see Mom I decided to take her for a walk. I gathered up the necessities -- her hat, sunglasses, sweatshirt and sunscreen and we headed out the door. We went to the schulpture park and then crossed the street to the main park. Even though there were loads of kids on the swim beach, when we sat beside the lake, she needed the sweatshirt. Trust me, I didNOT need a sweatshirt -- but I WAS sweating! All in all we were gone for about 1.5 hours. Nice day. I took a pic of her room at the North Shore Care Center. She thinks it's a nice room! She doesn't spend much time in there except to sleep at night. She's usually scooting around the hallways or relaxing (sleeping???) in one of the large rooms at the end of each wing. She's getting more care than she did at the assisted living apartment, and it was definitely time for the transition. She's doing quite well for turning 98 in September.
