98...and the elevator still goes to the top floor!!

Mom and I are sitting in the living room on a Thursday afternoon watching the birds and thinking about the impending New Year. I am always seeking ways to keep her mind alert and active. Thinking about the Winter Olympics that will soon be a feature to look forward to, I said to her, "Mom, do you know what's coming up after the first of the year?"

To which she replied, "The second!"

And then a half an hour later, I asked her if her nose was cold...because mine was cold. She touched her nose and said, "Well, yes it is! Isn't it supposed to be cold on the outside-not inside? Maybe we are sitting on the wrong side of the window!"
