You just have to schedule your appointments with them. It could help take some of the pressure off of you to always be the one to drive her around.

Also, I'm sure that your spunky Mother drove herself to church this morning!!!!! And you'll be JUST like her, Janet!!!!!
Yes we have a wonderful senior citizens group here. They do all kinds of things...to tell you the truth, as soon as I turn 55 I'm heading up there. I've suggested it a hundred times to Mom to go there. You can dance, play cards, bowl just about anything you want...take trips....but you know what she tells me????? All the people at the senior citizens center are too old....LOLOLOL

I go into photobucket and do searches for whatever it is I want to illustrate.
I have no clue who that woman is, but I HAVE seen my mother use that gesture. LOL

I love your Mom Janet! She's got a lot of living to do - don't stand in her way!

My Mom, would have just said the word and skipped the finger gesture!

When I asked her if she drove, she asked "what difference does it make?" I told her that if she got caught she could have lost her license for good and she said "I needed to go to church." I just told her that when she came home she was grounded and she just laughed.
