Wonderful times: Going grocery shopping with Mom and Moya

 

This is probably one of the highlights whenever I visit Mom. Yes, going grocery shopping with Mom and Moya.

We get into Ramlall’s car, which is hot because there is no air conditioner, and off we go. Then, soon enough we are at the supermarket.

Mom gets into her wheelchair and Ramlall goes off to get the shopping cart. Then I stand behind the wheelchair and Moya guides us into the supermarket.

For the next hour we traverse the aisles with Mom directing traffic.  She knows exactly what she wants and Moya goes off to fetch the desired items.

Ramlall helps and before you know it our shopping trip is over. Mom pays and then we leave the supermarket.

We buy lunch on the way home and then comes the hardest part of this outing. Mom changes into her home clothes and proceeds to her chair where she sits waiting for lunch. Moya unpacks the goods and Ramlall leaves while she is doing this. Then, finally our day of shopping is done.

Such beautiful and delicate ones: The beautiful butterflies

 

On my most recent trip to visit Mom, we did not have the pleasure of enjoying our beautiful butterflies in Mom’s garden.

We named a white butterfly Josefine and each time we sat in Mom’s garden Mom kept watching for Josefine to appear. Once or twice Josefine did fly by and Mom was so very excited to see her.

I always enjoy these special moments when Josefine comes by and Mom describes her visit. She flies back and forth in front of us and then she is gone.

Enjoying being together: Laundry time

This is a more orderly and less stressful activity with my mom. I place the clothes in the washer’s tub. I turn on the tap and Mom proceeds to turn on the washer and to put the detergent into the tub. Then I wait for the washing to be done.

I turn off the tap and the washer. Sometimes Mom and I hang out the clothes together but I really do not mind doing this alone.

All done and when the clothes are dry, I take them off their hangers and bring them to her where she carefully folds each piece of clothing and then I put them away.

Warm and wonderful feelings: Cooking again with Mom

This is one of my most treasured activities with Mom. To cook and enjoy a total experience of closeness, friendship, and lots of learning and laughing. Mom is definitely the leader.

I help her to lay out her stuff.  Then I bring her the high chair for her to sit on. She goes slowly and surely and I wait for her to tell me how to help her.

I hustle to the fridge, to the cupboards, and then I wash up the utensils and wipe down the counters as we go. Mom is so very meticulous and I never stop admiring how she does it!

I am her official taster.  Her can opener and her bottle opener. We cook, we bake, and we invent all kinds of recipes. That’s my beloved Mom.

Very humorous: Trying to find Mom

 

This is probably one of my most entertaining experiences every time I visit Mom. She is just so very skilled with her walker that whenever she chooses, she moves around quietly so as not to either alert us or to let us know where she is.

This has happened to me so many times and each time I have to smile to myself. She rises out of her chair, grips her walker, and then moves quickly around.

She lifts her walker as she goes and puts it down gently on the floor as she walks. The other day I went looking for her and no way could I find her.

I checked the washroom, the laundry room, the kitchen, and I finally found her in her room moving around amongst her things. Oh, yes! That’s my Mom!

About time! Returning to my piano playing

Here is another activity that I have decided to resurrect.  Oh yes, my piano playing. Over the years I have made several attempts to do this but now I think that I am on a roll.

First it was my exercise bike and then my chess playing. Now, time for my piano playing and looking forward to enjoying it.

Not very easy: Returning to the exercise bike

 

Oh yes, and it is high time that I do so. I started this in August 2025 and thus far it has yielded great results for my diabetes and my sugar levels.

I jump on my bike as often as I can and pedal as robustly as I can for about 15 minutes. I sweat, my heart races, and I am very happy.

As a vision-impaired person I need to find ways to exercise more robustly as it is difficult for me to run, walk, and do other outdoor activities on my own.
