...and Come Help Me With Mom...
"Don't miss anything. My parents taught me not to miss anything. Don't miss the game. Don't miss the performance, don't miss the movie, don't miss the show, don't miss the dance. Go to everything you possible can. Buy a ticket to everything you possibly can. Go see everything and experience all you possible can. This has served me so well to this day. Just before my father died at age 93 if you were to call him at 10:30 or 11:00 at night, he wouldn't be home. He was at the rodeo, he was watching the kids play softball, he was listening to the concert, he was at church, he was somewhere every night.
Live a vital life. Here's one of the reasons why. If you live well, you will earn well. If you live well it will show in your face, it will show in the texture of your voice. There will be something unique and magical about you if you live well. It will infuse not only your personal life but also your business life. And it will give you a vitality nothing else can give."

OK - so my Mom is not 93 -- she's just 92 -- and is looking for more action. She invited family in for lunch last Friday. Then off to the Zoo for 3-hours with the same crowd -- to see the flowers and maybe a lion or hippo or flamingo or two.
I picked her up Saturday noon for more family fun stuff -- with my girls and grands -- her great-grandboys and girls. She wanted to ride up to the college 60-miles up the interstate, to watch grandson play soccer, but timing didn't work out - oh well. (Did go with me and great-grandboys to monster-truck event, downtown last month. Too loud for me and the boys -- whew can't hang with Gram.)
She and I had a rousing round of playing cards 'manipulation rummy' - Sunday afternoon. As usual I came in second.
Reminds me: It's time to call her resident activities director, again. Still need more action around her place.
