Tales of the Way: Thank You, Thank You Very Much

We drove the Honda up to Mom's in Las Vegas on the 19th and we have had a very nice visit. We plan to head back to the RV in Wellton, AZ in the morning. Then, we'll drive back up to spend Christmas with her arriving at her place on the 19th and stay through the first.

We have done some projects for Mom around her condo, gone for many walks and eaten some great food while here.

Mom is looking and feeling healthy at 89. She is back walking most days (as long as it's not too cold or windy).

Mom won a dinner out at the Prime Rib Room. Craig ordered the Prime Rib and Mom had Tenderloin Medallions and I had Pork Oscar and we all shared. Craig liked his the best!

We got out all of Mom's Christmas Decorations and had a day of setting things up for her. Last year we really didn't decorate at all after Dad passed in Nov and we had the Memorial in Indiana in Dec. and the year before we only put up a few things. So, it was nice to make the house ready to celebrate Christmas.

Mom lives in a gated community and there's nice places to walk around the complex. It's just now starting to look like fall here.

Below is Mom's condo. You can see her out on the patio in red.

Midge and Ray had asked Mom to join them with their friends and family for Thanksgiving dinner and when they found that we were going to be here, they also invited us. We had a wonderful meal with all of the trimmings. Mom made pumpkin pies and a Minced Meat Pie for Ray and there was also Pecan Pie, so we had lots of goodies to eat.
