As Dad mentioned in his previous posting, Les and I asked Mom during a recent visit if we could bring her anything special. She said 'a hot dog and a cold beer'! So, that's exactly what Dad and I did yesterday....on the way to visit Mom, we stopped at Costco and picked up a hot dog loaded with mustard, ketchup and relish - her favourite toppings. We arrived at the lodge just as they were serving lunch in the dining room and decided to move Mom to the activity room to enjoy her special lunch. This way, we could sit with her and enjoy the time with her. When we placed the dog and beer in front of her, we asked her if she remembered her request - she gave us a big grin and said YES! And boy did she enjoy her lunch - and the beer was extra special because it was a bottle of Corona which is her favourite. She guzzled it like it was a hot summer day and the last cervaza on the planet! What a joy it was for us to experience her enthusiasm and contentment. A special day...
Una cerveza por favor!

ReplyDeleteYes,it was great to see her enjoying the surprise but I must say the beer was a clear winner. On at least 3 occasions as she guzzeled it down she commented on how great it was.
