We did it. Managed to get The Old Timer out of the nursing home. We took off and explored a couple of neighboring towns, and then went the the seat of Wright County where Old Timer used to teach. She had a good time. So did I. As people would pass us (I was holding steady at 55 on the highways) they looked annoyed with me, but then they would see Old Timer and a smile would spread over their faces. Not too often you see an 84 year old out crusing in a Corvette.

I know what you're thinking: Thank G*d she's not driving.
I can't wait until the leaves start changing colors. I promised Old Timer another ride to see the fall foliage. She loves trees.
We knew she has a sharp tongue, but not too many of us knew about the soft heart. lc
