THE FAR COUNTRY
Mother is sitting in front of the television watching a western movie. She tells me that she has sixty something dollars in cash from Valentine's Day. I ask her if she has change for a twenty and she says she does. She fumbled to get her "money bag" open and made change for me. I gave her the twenty and she asks me what I needed that much money for. I tell her that if she counts her money, that it is the same amount she had before she made change for me.
Then she goes off on to her favorite subject of emptying her bag before we go to bed. I have said many times that I will be picking up Michael at 10 o'clock and it isn't even 8 o'clock now. anyway, I ask her if she is ready to go to bed and she says, "no, I'm watching this western. I think it's a new one. I've never seen it before.
The name of the western is The Far Country starring Jimmy Stewart. He died in July of 1997. Nothing like watching a new western. smh
There is no one like my Mother. I love having her with me.
