It is a rainy bluster sort of day here in northern Illinois and my Sunday to visit with mom. I am amazed that she will run around in this less than perfect weather like it was a beautiful sunny day but I guess when you are 91 every day your eyes pop open is a beautiful sunny day. Besides, I have never known my mother to let the weather stop her..... well maybe icy weather, that will. But bless her heart, she her only comment was "Maybe I should bring my umbrella".
We had a perfectly wonderful lunch with lovely conversation. Next stop was Jewel to pick up the 4 items on her list. Back home mom asked if I would please change her clocks.
Never but never visit my mother the day after daylight savings. She has 3,241 clocks and I am not kidding. There are 15 alone in the kitchen! I changed every one of them for her and made a mental note to skip that Sunday in October when they have to be turned back which is a bit harder than flipping them one hour forward. Kidding, I'd go every day and change them if she wanted me to.
Thanks for the day, mom.
Your loving daughter,
Linda
