So, Gidget starts barking today, and I look out, and there's a car pulled up to the gate, and a woman, the driver, has gotten out of the car and is taking pictures of the horses. There was someone else in the car I couldn't see well.

I walked out, and said "can I ~help~ you?" She said "I volunteer at 'such-and-such' nursing home, and every week, I come and take this lady for a drive. She noticed your horses were so pretty and wanted to take a look at them. Since she has Alzheimer's and will forget by tomorrow where we went today, I take pictures and print them out for her so she'll remember."

Very sweet, really!

I offered that I'd bring a horse up if she wanted to see closer, but she said she really didn't walk very well and could they just sit there in the car and watch them awhile... I said sure :~D

That's really sweet of her. She could bring the woman by each week to see them and it would be a new trip each time! ;o) The pictures will be nice, though. My sister did that for Mama all the time. They were her only 'memories'.
