Re: Mother takes the wheel
It looks like your mom is in good health if she is out doing fun stuff like that at her age.

Re: Mother takes the wheel
This puts a smile on my face seeing such pure joy on her face. For 91 your mom looks like she is doing very well.

Re: Mother takes the wheel
Looks like your mom sure had some fun. I hope the polar bears survived!
All joking aside, you managed the interior and exterior light quite nicely.

Re: Mother takes the wheel
Janice your mum is amazing, and I have to say, seems to have the best office to work in - I really envy her!
When you love what you do, you don't have to work...

You asked for C&C . . . consider better for you to get on that box thing and nail Mum Half Profile, rather than Full Profile ... after all if Mum is ONLY 91 . . . you must be younger!

Re: Mother takes the wheel
Thanks, all. She is a remarkable woman, and her positive attitude wins her friends wherever she goes. Point taken about the profile, William, but I didn't want to get between her and the real driver, in case he had to come to her aid. She doesn't do this for real, Trev; driving those buggies takes considerable skill, as they follow rocky old military roads that are not maintained and replacement parts are hard to come by. This was one of the very few flat spots that my mom and the teenager in our group got to try their hand.

I expect that your Mother was as enthusiastic as "the teenager" to have her go at the wheel.
Priceless moment.
Treasure it.
