After walking Kaiser, grabbing a bite, and making out our grocery list, I headed down to the basement to bike my 21 km in 45 minutes. Then, after showering and eating lunch (a tasty sandwich with smoked salmon), I headed back down to the "other" home to give it another once over. I was successful today, i.e., I made it all the way to the home without the road being flooded.
And wow. It is SUCH a nice place. I maintain that I would live there. And one of the workers is actually someone who left working mom's current residence to go there. The rooms are in fact a bit bigger than a remember them, but still smaller than mom's current room. But I am more convinced than ever that mom should make the move. I think she would much better care and be in an atmosphere that is much more like living in a real home, as opposed to "a senior's home." I called mom after I got back and told her all this... She's unsure what to do... She thinks a move would be a big deal both for her and for me... I told her not to worry about me... We could move her in a half day. No big deal.... In any case, I told her that I would like for her to see it for herself and that I would take her there tomorrow if she was up to it. She said that she would sleep on it and that she supposed it wouldn't hurt to look. I hope she goes. I think after one look, she, too, will be convinced. Wish me luck!
In other news, Georges and Barb are coming over tonight for a few drinks after dinner - I think I may break out a bottle of Pinotage that we purchased in NYC... It's been a while since we've connected with our good friends... (And we can always pick up more in Boston next weekend!)
With that, on to the boyz!

Glad to hear the new home sounds much better for your mom. Hopefully you can take her for a tour and she'll agree to move in.
As usual, your selection of boyz is terrific!
