This week I visited with my mom and 2 sisters. Randy had ordered some TV Ears for Mom, and when they arrived I drove to Washington, IL to show her how to use them. At this point it looks like they will help her hear her beloved old movies (which don’t have closed captions), and that’s the main thing. We have a routine we follow when I visit Mom - a trip to the Goodwill, a trip to Walmart, and a trip to Dairy Queen. This time we beat our personal record by going to Walmart 3 times in 2 days! Mom is a huge fan of the photo copier at Walmart - she goes through all of her old photos (and they go back to my great-grandparents) and makes copies for the family. Unfortunately Walmart recently updated their photo copiers, so now she has to get used to a new machine. And to date she is still using film, but film is getting harder to find so she recently got a digital camera. She's not quite comfortable with it yet but she loves taking photos, so it won't be long before she gets the hang of it. When she learns that you can take as many digital photos as you want and then select which ones you want to print, there will be no stopping her!
Some friends from our days in Arizona City have come to visit us here in St. Louis, so we get to play tour guide for them. They were wonderful tour guides for us when we visited them in Albuquerque, so the bar is set pretty high. We will do our best!
