It's just in the last few that I have been very purposeful in scheduling something fun to do that is not related to my mother or any of her things. It's been very helpful. I also go with goals of things that I want to do with my mother for fun. Sometimes those work out and sometime they don't. This time was decorating her wheel chair. You may notice the pink wheels in the picture. That was one of the things we did together.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-20160860792163230702017-01-11T16:10:56.140-05:002017-01-11T16:10:56.140-05:00We have to cross the Appalachian Mountains during ...We have to cross the Appalachian Mountains during the 7 hour trip.

I know you have had a lot on your plate with the move, the holidays, selling the former house, and of course your mother. I also understand that emotional roller coaster since I ride it right along with you.<br />The night time walk was a brilliant idea.This Christmas we took Mom out several times after dark. She can no longer see to drive at night and she misses night time activities and the lights. I am going to continue night plans with her as long as she can go.<br />Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-12762348774693519992017-01-11T12:56:03.487-05:002017-01-11T12:56:03.487-05:00You handled that trip very well!

And this is a good reminder for all of us, to look out for the enrichment needs of the elderly around us.
