BatterseaBrindl Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 This morning, after our 3rd grade reading sessions were finished, Nigel and I joined the school choir for a visit to 'our' LTC Home. And that meant going on a big yellow school bus. Well ... Nigel and I could have driven our ownselves there, but I thought "if he can get his old bones up and into the bus, why not ?!?" This awesome old fellow always continues to amaze me with his ever-agreeable "OK Mom... No problem. I can do that for you" attitude. And up he climbed into the Big Yellow School Bus. It was a bit of a jiggly and bumpy ride And it did take some maneuvering to get him turned around in the narrow aisle when we went to exit the bus Best of all we got combine visiting our favourite oldies and kidlets all at the same time and a good time was had by all Quote Nancy...Mom to Sid (Peteles Tiger), Kibo (112 Carlota Galgos) and Joshi. Missing Casey, Gomer, Mona, Penelope, BillieJean, Bandit, Nixon (Starz Sammie), Ruby (Watch Me Dash) Nigel (Nigel), and especially little Mario, waiting at the Bridge.

BatterseaBrindl Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Getting him off the Big Yellow Bus involved backing him up whilst manoeuvring his rear end into a empty seat 'foot well' followed by a well negotiated three point turn. He is such a tolerant boy Quote Nancy...Mom to Sid (Peteles Tiger), Kibo (112 Carlota Galgos) and Joshi.
