One thing I’m gonna miss SOOOOO MUCH is holding her hand!!! MigiMo has THE SOFTEST SKIN IN THE WORLD...at two weeks shy of 92!!! She’s kinda strolling towards the light. We think she’s waiting for my brother-in-law and oldest nephew to arrive. Luckily my Tía Linda (Dad’s sister just one year younger) and my cousin, Rosa (who is Tía’s caregiver)just arrived from Orange County (So Cal)!! #migimo #livingwithmigimo #livingwithanonagenarian #caregiver #caregiverlife #familycaregiver #pelon #alchemist #comicsgodandtortillas #migimoment #migimoments #caregiverliving #caringforelderlyparents (at East Mesa, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM0mKiOhWDy/?igshid=1q2abk1g7re9k

My senior mom and I love these faux rivers - and isn't this a pretty lawn that takes very little water! Perfect during this California drought! Roseville #RosevilleCA #RosevilleCaliforniaJoys #exploreroseville @ExploreRoseville #55plus #caringforelderlyparents #boomersandseniors

A Migi MoMent: 🎶 She’s Walking in Sunshine 🎶 Will wonders never cease?!? Got Migi Mo to walk from her chair in the living room, walk across the room and across the threshold (imagine trying to do that at the age of 88 after having broken a leg earlier that year—its a three-stage process!!). We sat on the front patio for a half hour enjoying the chilly 69° fresh air and then she walked back inside! Now I just need to get her to walk to the mail box FOR ME like she did for Margaret the physical therapist!! I 💕💕My Migi Mo!!

A Migi MoMent: The Persuasive Ways of the Migi

and my birthday celebration continues!!! little bit of household background: things are a bit tight financially, so i try my best to cook most of our food. Migi Mo doesn't really cook much these days. however, she IS quick to say: "why don't i give you a $5 bill from my purse so you can go pick up some dinner for us at Vaqueros?" (she is also HIGHLY unrealistic on how much things cost these days!!) on the other hand, it takes ALL KINDS of cajoling to get her to leave the house. so we have two opposing dynamics here--her "nesting" versus my frugality!! yet today she says: "lemme take my shower and then we can go OUT for an early dinner...FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY..." call me skeptical, but i kinda think SHE'S milking my birthday as an excuse for me to take her out! : ] gosh, i love my Migi Mo to pieces!!!

I love to drink V8 - I get my veggies and extra Vitamin C and it tastes good! I tend to drink it down fast and today was no exception - til I realized my throat was on fire! Turns out their spicy version looks almost the same as their regular and the store must have had them right next to each other or intermixed. I had bought 1 pack of regular and 3 of spicy! Oyyyyy! So glad my senior mom didn't get any before I caught it. So for all of you fellow V8 drinkers - read the labels CLOSELY 😜 😄👍 #caringforelderlyparents #elderlyparents

A lovely walkway - delightful curb appeal. But if you are house hunting with aging in place needs, this could be a bit of a concern - might be harder for aging seniors to navigate #aginginplace #curbappeal #caringforelderlyparents #realestate #KayeSwainLovesRealEstate

While out and about with my senior mom, we spotted this lovely tree. The vivid color of its fall foliage held us entranced! 😄 #autumnbliss #elderlyparents #caringforelderlyparents #fallfoliage

My #senior mom is thrilled with her new #bathroom grab bar! Vital aging in place tools! 😄 #aginginplace #elderlyparents #grabbar #caringforelderlyparents

Thanks to @Target, I got to put a big smile on my #senior mom's face as she loves both owls and the @Klondike ice cream bars 😄 #elderlyparents #caringforelderlyparents

A simple #aging in place tip my #senior mom and I figured out. She was having the hardest time trying to plug things into an outlet in the laundry room as it is a bit tight and very low to the ground. We popped a surge suppressor into the outlet that has easier outlet connections. She can plug things in easily, lift it up if she needs too, and now has extra outlets available. A win win all around 😄😄😄. #aginginplace #caringforelderlyparents #elderlyparents #seniorcitizens
