Marcia's Parent Care Pick
Dear Visitor,
I remember gifts my parents looked forward to receiving. They lived in a one bedroom retirement community apartment, so didn't need anything. I gifted them with delicious things to eat. For mom it was always a box of chocolates, "both crèmes and nuts please" and for dad, because he was diabetic, a tin of Washington State University Creamery's award winning Cougar Gold sharp, white cheddar cheese.
This year I have a new idea: A gift that can keep on giving indefinitely by improving memory: Dr. Kawashima's Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day from Nintendo. I plan to gift one to my husband's parents (aged 87 and 88) and one to myself.
Sincerely,
Marcia Johnson
