Mom has moved in with us as of February 1, 2010. We gave her the twins old bedroom and our spare bedroom to use as her living room and bedroom. She also has the spare bathroom all to herself and has space in the Summer kitchen on the patio. She shares our kitchen and dining room. It's smaller than what she had at her apartment, but it's really all she needs and she says that she's comfortable. We had a new glass door enclosure put in the shower for her so she gets plenty of light. It's one of those frameless shower doors and looks really nice. We still need to make a picture wall for her, perhaps in her bedroom. Mom's spends most of her time watching her favorite cable TV show and working on her hand work. Right now she's working on a quilt. I can't wait to see the finished product, but I don't want to rush her since it gives her something to do to past the time. She also enjoys sitting out on the deck, eating ice cream and watching the birds, ducks and geese, as well as our beautiful sunsets. We go out to lunch or dinner weekly and I try to take her shopping, although she does get tired and wants to stop and sit while I shop. Her drive to her favorite store, Walmart, is short since she's now only a mile away. This week we washed and detailed her car for her. She keeps it in our garage since John's new truck is too big to fit in it. It's good to have her with us, especially since she gets confused sometimes about taking her meds. I made her a list so she can check it off when she takes her pills. I think that she's doing great for 85 years.
