My Mother's First Swim / Grilled Steak For Lunch

Song:  Autumn Full Album

Artist:  George Winston

My sister had my mother try to hold her hands on the seat and try to flutter kick.

And she did it.

She then had her try again to swim / walk to the bar of the treadmill.

And then try again with a little more current.

And then again.

My mother then went to the far end while my sister swam

against the current.

The current was still fairly low but it allowed my sister to stay in place as she swam.

My mother was trying more flutter kicks...

as my sister then tried the treadmill against the current.

It was time to prepare for lunch.

My mother loved her time in the pool.

She will swim with my elder sister at her house three times a week.

And while visiting my younger sister...

she will swim at an indoor public pool with her two to three times a week.

And...

twice a week...

I have my mother weight train.

She is almost 81 years old now...

but she still loves doing things.

My mother is excited about swimming often at my elder sister's house.

My mother dried off and then changed into dry clothes.

My sister prepared the steaks for lunch.

My sister started up the grill.

My mother enjoyed the warmth of the sun as my sister prepared to grill the steaks.

It had lightly snowed in the mountains a few days ago.

My eldest sister's eldest son is known as the MMA Yogi.

He now trains others in Yoga (Professional gig at a high tech company)...

still trains in Jiu Jitsu...

and has done some modeling gigs...

and he has a Pod cast he is just starting.

My sister cut up my mom's steak for her.

After eating lunch...

I took my mother home early as I was tired.

I will be making shrimp somen and a large salad tonight for her supper.

My sister's and I split up taking care of my mother

so she always has someone with her...

24 / 7

I make supper...

and usually breakfast for her...

and, except when she stays at my younger sister's house (Usually three days a week)...

I have the night shift

(Usually from 5 PM through 9 AM).

My mother is having a great time. 

She loves the variety of things she does...

and with swimming now included on a regular basis...

she is getting much more exercise.
