A lucky senior

Pathway

This is a photo of a pathway that I took recently and am thinking about painting it.

I ran into the mom of one of my daughter's friends the other day at the grocery store.  We had a nice chat.  I asked how her dad was faring, since her mom had passed away several years ago.   He is still living on his own at 92.  However, they have made some changes.  They moved him downstairs so he can live on one floor and minimize his trips upstairs and thus his risk of falling.  She is such a good daughter.  She spoke of taking him with the family on a cottage getaway up north for a week.  She encouraged him to eat steak and more meat that week, as he loves barbecued food.  His regular diet is now quite plain and simple.  This organized lady thought of moving his summer clothes downstairs and is very attentive.  Her other siblings are at a very busy time in their lives and she understands that.  He is a lucky senior.

This is a wonderful, wonderful photo of your pathway. I'm not sure but I think these lovely trees make an amazing scent.

It's probably that simple diet that has kept him alive and healthy. My husband's mother is 96 and also eats a very simple diet, with very little red meat. Red meat can cause inflammation.

He is indeed a very lucky senior!

I've always noticed women always find people they know shopping. My mom was notorious for it, and my wife has a few people. I almost always run into nobody

We had some irony. We did Facetime with my son (32 years old) and he tried to give blood. His hemoglobin was too low! They're trying to eat less meat, but that's not working out for him!!!

Good wakeup call

I think that would make a beautiful painting if you decide to paint it! I'm glad that gentleman has such a thoughtful daughter.

I think that photograph is lovely and would make a very nice painting.
As Lisa said above, I too was pleased to read that the gentleman has such a thoughtful daughter.

All the best Jan
