Stroke victim elderly friend of mine lost the function of his right arm but got out of the nursing home as soon as he could, bought an old motorhome and never looked back. He said his worst day on the road was better than his best day in the nursing home. Happy trails!

Chrome, you are very kind. When one becomes “differently” abled, cost of living skyrockets. All modified and adaptive equipment is so very expensive. He definitely needs a spinner knob for his steering wheel and better hand controls for safe and efficient travel. Praying for you Gus. Keep living your best life. Thanks Chrome. It truly makes a difference.

Just before i got married (in 2020, in a park at the US-Canada border, during COVID, to my American husband who couldn't cross the border, and i couldn't cross it either), i was staying at the Jericho Beach hostel right near there. Taking the #4 bus every day into town. There was a crazy lady in my dorm who used to chant mantras for hours on end out loud from 5AM. Good times! 😆

Chrome one thing you have to be careful about with that beautiful knitted blanket is that your DOG does not get all CAUGHT up in it. It could be very dangerous and distressing for the dog. Its paws can get caught in the holes in the blanket and get tangled up. Just a small side of caution always thinking about the animals we love.
