A Sweet Story

My mother is the most amazing person you could meet. She is kind, loving, very funny and quirky, really on the ball and the best grandma in the world. If I post a pic of her she'd kill me, so I'll be nice and keep her pic under wraps. :) She really is beautiful but she's as photogenic as I am, which is not very. You don't see any pics of *me* on these blogs, do you? :D

So, my 70-year-old mother was at a potluck dinner with the other seniors at her adult-only condo complex. She had been given two paper placemats instead of one, so she decided to fold a boat.

Someone saw her, and decided to fold an airplane. Soon several of the seniors were folding airplanes.

Then, one gentleman came forward who was the airplane-folding PRO, and he taught everyone some tricks about folding airplanes.

Soon the entire place was alive with seniors throwing airplanes at each other! Even the people in wheelchairs were getting some good air on their planes.

When this had gone on for quite awhile the airplanes started to get bent, so everyone began crumpling them up and chucking the balls at each other like snowballs!

The condo supervisor walked by my mom's table with a huge grin and said, "You really started something!"

Everyone left there feeling ten years younger. :)
