Fun!

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labor the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.—ECCLESIASTES 8:15 [KJV]

Grannie could no longer drive or go anywhere without someone to help her. One weekend when I came home to see her, she seemed much quieter than normal.

“When was the last time you got out of the house?” I asked her.

“I don’t remember,” she said.

I thought about this dilemma overnight. “Then we are going shopping!” I told her the next morning. “And out to eat!”

“Oh, I can’t. You know I can’t walk that much anymore,” Grannie said.

“Yes, I do know. I borrowed a wheelchair.” She was still fussing at me as I gathered up her purse and scarf and stood waiting for her at her front door.

“I suppose I would like to see that new Walmart,” she said.

At the store, I pushed Grannie up and down every single aisle. “Hold on!” I said when we got to the fishing tackle aisle. I raced her the length of the aisle and spun her in circles at the other end. She laughed like I had not heard in a long time. It made me happy to hear it.
