Our 93-year-old grandma and her husband just drove across the country (MI to FLA). Remarkable! But what is even more remarkable is that she and her husband Bill drove there to GOLF! You see, she is a bit of a wild woman---golfing, bowling, AND she took up with and married a younger man about 5 years ago....... (Bill is 91).
They decided to stop off in JAW-JA for a visit with us. We had such a fun time with them! (but I think they only stopped to play cards....and for our money). We played cards both nights. And Bill won both nights.
...I am a bit suspicious (card shark!).
The first night Nana informed me that she gets cold easily when sleeping. So I gave her my nice, really heavy mink blanket (purchased in Asia). The next morning she said the blanket was SO heavy that she couldn't move all night as she was held in place under its weight. I told her that was intentional.....I was hoping that the blanket would act like a vice and keep her in her bed. I didn't want her wandering around the house in the middle of the night, getting into trouble. And the blanket was easier than locking her door.
She also said that our towels were too large and heavy....she couldn't get one wrapped around her tiny body. I handed her a washcloth.
We had a great time and hope they come back again.....with some advance notice---- so I can get a not-so-heavy blanket, smaller towels, and can have some time to practice playing cards beforehand......either that or hide my wallet!
