Your mother looks amazing and enjoying her food although she's lost weight. My mom who is 88 is very thin too, she eats very little, but she is fine.<br />I love their stories from back in the day when they were young. Mother is remembering her youth days and my fathers too.<br />Much blessings to your mom and may you have her by your side for many years more.<br />FabbyFABBY'S LIVINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027781738558115533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-50081785946476993582018-05-16T16:15:32.099-04:002018-05-16T16:15:32.099-04:00Your mom looks fantastic for 93, Laura!

My dad has been writing down his history for us, as he was never one for reminiscing...now that he's not well he's sharing his history with us, which of course makes me cry but is wonderful also.

I too love the mountains and drives and I can imagine when I'm in my later years, I won't be able to, and will hope that my son will want to take me somewhere into the mountains, just to reminisce and be there in nature. You are wonderful to do that for your mom and she looks so pretty and dressed up! It's so important to hear the stories that our elders tell us...we mush cherish them and urge them on to tell more! I'm glad you had such a nice day.
