My Mother is semi-retired

She is going to deliver food to aids patients,sort of a like meals-on-wheels. The food is really good!! I am going to give her my map book so she can find herself around.My Mother will do anything for the aids cause. But she won't solicit. LOL

That's really awesome of her. :hi:

I told her that the food bank needs help but that doesn't appeal to her. So she will deliver meals...

The meals on wheels here had to change the way they do things to cut costs. Now the deliver several days worth of frozen meals at once, and don't stick around to visit like they used to. :(

all said about the same thing, the meals on wheels people were sometimes the only people they got to talk to all day.

My grandmother lived out in BFE, Nevada and even before their podunk town had a school they had a senior center where they'd get fed and socialize, volunteers would teach classes, and they'd have bus trips into town twice a week. We had the service there after her burial, since most of her friends would be there anyhow. Their town was really, really poor and they managed to take care of their seniors properly, both in terms of their dietary needs and their need for community and intellectual stimulation.

It's sad that a big, prosperous town like this can't do any better than a teeny tiny one an hour's drive from the closest grocery store.

and I go see them after they wake up from their nap @3pm. My Grandmother says they are always looking forward to seeing me.

I have been working at the shop every day lately..so now I see them before they have their breakfast and I see them at night after they have their supper. Still twice a day....

but my Grandmother LOVES it! They have only been doing it a week so I think it's going to work out.

:bounce: Good for her! :hi:

Since she is able to afford the gas, I am very pleased!

I do the next best thing though - I donate gas money to the people who do :D
