Mom, Don, and I spent last weekend in Portland. Saturday afternoon, while Don and I kept our date with Topol at the Keller Auditorium for one of his final tour performances in the musical Fiddler on the Roof, Mom was squired around by Sarah and Jennifer. Focusing their shopping efforts at Washington Square Mall, Mom consented to ride in a borrowed wheelchair from one end to the other, shopping all the way. Finishing the afternoon off with ice cream, Mom drank every bit of her rootbeer float. Although both wheelchair drivers were nearly fired for recklessness, they won back enough points to be offered by Grammy the opportunity to do it again in a couple months so that she could Christmas shop. Unfortunately for us, Danielle had to work all weekend, but she joined us afterwards every evening for dinner.
Mom's favorite conquest was this pair of Aerosoles.
