Chuck’s trip to
In the beginning of March, I went to
, and see what could be done about her poor trailer, that got damaged quite a bit during hurricane Wilma last fall. Blown away (completely – you don’t even ask where they went!) were her screen porch and carport, as well as some windows. All told, quite a mess. My sister Kathy had visited in January and done some magic (she painted everything!), so things were not nearly as grim as they had been in the past. Either way, here is what is left:
One the larger tasks was to do some work on the wheelchair ramp. This used to be covered by the now-missing screen porch. Now it is working on getting a suntan with occasional baths. So at least a no-slip surface needed to be added to compete with the algae that will come with time.
Secondly, her electric wheelchair has taken up bungee-jumping over the side! See those side rails? Well, when the chair gets bored of going just up an down (booorrriiiinnnggg!), it instead decides to jump over the side. This is, well…. “disconcerting” to the occupant! Well, to solve it, in added on to the side rails so the chair cannot jump. And did some other things around the house. We also went out to dinner several times, and had lunch with “the aunts” – here is my Mom, Patty and Ro. Can you tell they are sisters?
