Daily Living Made Easier

Today is Senior Citizens Day. A perfect day to shine the spotlight on my senior mom along with her gardening and bird activities with her great-grandchildren.

Both of these hobbies are so great for our aging parents – physically, mentally, and emotionally. And both are so rewarding – leading to lovely smiles and, often, gales of laughter.

The Sandwich Generation caring for aging parents loves to find gifts for the elderly parents in their family that make them smile - and these hydrangeas did just that
