The Three Musketeers! That's what we are. Every year, Mom takes Kelley and I out to lunch to celebrate our birthdays together, since our birthday's are only a week apart. This year was no exception, even with mom in the nursing home. Mom is always up to having a good party. In fact, one day Leslie asked her what she was going to miss most when she is gone, and she said "the parties and family get togethers".
We started our day going to church with mom.... a favorite thing for me to do with her. For lunch mom wanted Chinese. It was closed so we choose the next best thing. A Frosty from Wendy's. We added a meal from KFC to make our meal complete.
After lunch, Rachel joined us and we took mom for a walk across the street to CEU. Kelley was pushing mom across the street and hit a (crater) very large crack in the road. We just about dumped her out! That's all we needed... a call to 911 and have our mother picked up from the middle of the road. We surely would have killed her. We quickly turned her wheelchair around and pulled her backwards, making it both easier and safer.
We found a nice shady patio and sat, visited, and enjoyed the beauty of the impending Fall. The fresh air was so pleasant. Mom loves to get out of the care center and into the fresh air as much as possible. She looked like an angel today.... so beautiful and at peace. Kelley is always a hoot and entertained us. We celebrated another wonderful birthday together... us Three Musketeers!
