Ms R is from a
prominent family in the city and moved in due to heart problems but
can talk a blue streak with a quick sense of humor. She remembers
her husband often and relates stories too numerous at times to
remember. One does come to the forefront though. She was the
designated driver when taking her aged husband for a drive and coming
back through the Armdale Rotary was speeding along and eventually
stopped by the police officer nearby. As the officer walked to her
window and peered inside, and knowing immediately who he had stopped,
asked the customary question “do you know why I stopped you?”..
but before Ms R could reply Mr R said quickly “Give it to
her officer”. Needless to say she never got a ticket, but she
laughs about that day every time we go though an intersection. I now
say our route should be clear with Ms R tagging along. She laughs
enthusiastically every time. Ms R gets 3 bottles of rye every
week. She loves “her drink” as she says her husband would have said.
[Ms R. has a
special way to get into the van and if one of the steps is left out
she is quick to remind me) – I seldom forget, to avoid the speech
