Mom’s 93rd birthday is one week from today. Damsel and I decided to get her a recliner to replace the straight chair in her room at the retirement ranch.

I went on-line and found that Amazon had recliners in their vast inventory and picked out the one seen in the image. It should be delivered in time for her birthday, but the seller says it can’t be gift wrapped. I guess I understand that. We already leaked out the hint that she might be getting a new chair, so it will be a nice gift if not entirely surprising to her.
As for Mom and her adaptation to her new living arrangements, she seems to be getting used to the place and says she isn’t too homesick since we’re here in town and see her often. She misses her cats, but understands they can’t be with here in this place. We hope the chair will reinforce the notion that this is where she belongs and that she will be comfortable and happy in her new place.
