This is a post from 9 years ago, on 8Aug2014: Encouraged by John getting Mom downstairs yesterday, I asked her if she wanted to go for a drive. Score! We got out for a few minutes by Alki, but mostly we just drove around, and she told me several times how much she enjoyed it. We then went and picked up Inday from work. Even though mostly in the car, and only an hour and a half or so, she was ready for a nap when we got her back to St V. A nice afternoon...
