You’re like my great grandmother used to be (back in the day, when she was alive)… My dad would call her on Wednesday, tell her “Grandma, I’m coming over on Friday to mow your lawn (shovel your walk, various other things you would do for your 80 year old grandmother), you’ll be home, right?” Of course, she’d reply with “Yes, yes, I’ll be here for you to get it done, see you then.”
Of course, on Friday, dad would arrive to a mowed lawn (or shoveled walk or whatever he wanted to do). It turned out that she had done it the day before (the Thursday).
Oddly enough, going past what would normally be her limits wasn’t what actually got her in the end. Ah, well, she was always a source of frustration/amusement for our family. π
OMG! That is so my gram’ma! She’ll be 93 this year, still as immaculately coiffed, manicured as ever and as stubborn as a mule… She still lives on her own, mows her lawn, works at the local genealogy center, drives, travels, grows prize winning roses, you name it she does it! I hope to be just like her when I grow up! π
