Oh, they do enjoy her so much. And she enjoys watching them. When she gets tired of hearing them she just turns down her hearing aide! (wouldn't that be nice some times?)
She is the one who mentioned to my Mom that she is bored and never gets out. I think she would really enjoy going outside and watching the kids. She always worries about us doing to much for her. She was always taking care
of everyone else. I keep telling her it is about time we return the favor.
