Remember Grandma

Hi girls,

This messages is mainly for the Bloomington girls, but it would apply to any of the rest who come to visit grandma. After spending 5 days with grandma, i realize she is doing really good. In fact, she is physically doing amazingly well. However, in order for an older person to keep going and not to stiffen up, she needs regular exercise. While i was visiting, we went to the Bloomington church at least 3 times to let her walk. She loved it and it did so much for her attitude! She is not ready to start driving yet...which may be wise; however, i know she would love to be taken to the church to walk at least 3 or 4 times a week. This is where the grandkids can help. If one family could take her once a week and another family another time etc. ... it would be wonderful. She would be blessed and so would you! It could be anytime of the day or evening and your kids could run around the church with her! it would take maybe 45 minutes to an hour out of your day by the time you pick her up and take her home.

Mom will never ask for you to do this, but I know she would love it. Just call and say, "Would you like to walk tomorrow? I'll pick you up at 10:30am or 7:30 pm or whatever works best!"
I don't mean to be bossy and I know it may be a struggle getting her into your vans...just pray about it.

Love you all,

Aunt Barb
