Marie Has Wheels

For the first time in her life Marie is driving a vehicle. She has wanted an electric wheelchair for years and something always prevented her from getting one. Finally Fran and I took the bull by the horns and got her an appointment to be evaluated and bingo! She got a custom made wheelchair built just for her. She even got to choose the color. It is bright blue. She drives it with a joy stick.
Marie may have to buy new furniture, because she does do a little bumping into things, but when she does she laughs. Marie is so happy!

Marie's 94th Birthday

We had another fun day yesterday. Marie's son, Roger, from Texas was here to help celebrate Marie's birthday. We picked up Marie and took her to a Chinese Buffet. She said that she had never been to one before She thought that a buffet was a good idea for fast service. She enjoyed people watching especially people that were eating with chop sticks. She said if she tried that she would have food all over the place.
When we got back to Stockton we took her to a green house and picked out plants for outside on her deck and a house plant called a fuzzy jew. I had never seen one; it really was fuzzy.
Of course, before we could leave she gave us a loaf of zucchini bread and a loaf of homemade white bread. She may be ninety four, but she still knows her way around the kitchen!
