Default My moms ride in the Deuce (she is 95)

Ronda and I took my mom to church today in the Deuce. She hadn't been since her fall 5 years ago. Nobody in Tucson would take the time out to take her. Now she is living with me in Michigan, I will take her anywhere she wants to go.

I behaved (sort of) I did smoke the tires for her. (She loved it)

Your mom looks good fro 95. I hope she is adjusting well to the move. I drove my wife's grandma in my car and I thought she wasn't gonna like it because it sit so low.(she usually rides in my inlaws minivan or truck) but she loved it. She really liked the big doors. It made it easy for her io get in.

Good to hear your taking car of her! I bet that ride in the Deuce was quite a thrill for her

Thanks everyone. I am just sooo thankfull that I was able to step in and prevent her from going into a nursing home.

Here is what is soo neat, she is going to a car show next week-end to see me compete. Ronda will drive her up seperately so she can go home when ever she has had enough. Yep mom is a gear-head too (Motor oil is in the LaDuke blood)

Very nice I have my grandmother living with us so i kind of understand how it is. The rest of the family rarely helps out and everyone says we should do it all because she lives here with us But anyway, glad to see you were able to step in and help her out, hopefully she'll have a better quality of life living with you
