We've had a stretch of below normal temperatures, snow, and ice. Because of that we haven't gone to the Cornfield, Subway, or McDonalds for awhile. Grandma wants to carry on the tradition of occasionally taking us out for 'supper' just as she and Grandpa had been doing for years. We usually try to order something that all toll comes under $20.00. That is usually the special at the Cornfield, or a hamburger or fishburger.
In order to help, when I'm in town I stop by the bank and get a couple of $20.00 bills and put them in Grandma's room. She wonders for a short time-just how did I get that money, but will soon put it in her billfold for the next time we go 'out to supper'.
It's so rewarding to see her take the bill, add the numbers (to see if there's been some mistake) and count out the correct change.
In my profession this would maybe be part of the 'care plan' but for us it's just one way we can allow Grandma to maintain her dignity and carry on something she and grandpa did for years.
I can just hear him say- "Kay----get that bill"
