ORIENTATION

WE COMPLETED GRANDMA'S ORIENTATION TO THE MOHAVE VALLEY. SHE IS NOW ON HER OWN WITH THE "ARIZONA CAR" ALL GASSED UP.

THE FIRST NIGHT WE WENT TO EAT WITH HER AT BLACK BEAR FAMILY DINER, JUST A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM HER MOTEL. THEN YESTERDAY WE DELIVERED THE "ARIZONA CAR" AND DROVE HER TO THE MALL, WHERE SHE WILL HAVE TO WALK WHEN THE WIND COMES UP, AND WHERE THE MOVIE THEATER IS LOCATED. NEXT STOP, MARY'S FAVORITE, THE LAUGHLIN LIBRARY. THE LIBRARY ISSUED GRANDMA A CARD AND SHE'S ALL SET UP WITH ALL THE READING MATERIAL SHE WILL REQUIRE. SHE EVEN SCORED A BOOK ON HER SHORT LIST OF BOOKS SHE'S BEEN WANTING TO READ.

LAST STOP, I DUMPED THEM OFF AT THE LOCAL SAFEWAY GROCERY STORE AND MADE THEM WALK BACK TO THE LODGE ON THE RIVER. THEY EVEN FOUND A BACK STREET SHORTCUT.
