This is just a quick reminder for your weekend.
Today my husband and I were eating lunch and looking out the cafe window. At the four way stop was an elderly bearded man on his tractor. My husband jokingly said, “his children took his truck keys”. We watched him turn into a Dollar General parking lot and go inside. Of course, we took a photo to share with you. Then my hubby ventured inside and struck up a conversation about tractors with the man. He did not appear to have dementia and was simply hot and thirsty from plowing and drove the tractor over to get a root beer.
I shared this story with a friend. She shared a similiar one with me. Another friend had taken her 95 year old grandfather’s car keys. A neighbor asked for a ride to the doctor. Grandpa took her on his riding lawnmower. Don’t underestimate the resourcefulness of senior citizens. Taking the car keys may not be enough.
