My mom will be 90 years old in a month. She lives on her 20-acre ranch in the Black Forest area of Colorado. Dad passed away a few years ago. Mom is Norwegian, her name is Haldis. My aunts and uncles had names like Ingrid, Gundborg, and Germund. So she worked all her life as an RN, then retired.
Her house is spotless and I mean really spotless. Now she has decided to rake up and bag the pine needles. Every time I go out there she has another 10 big yard bags stuffed with pine needles and pine cones. She is little, only about 100 pounds but she kicks ***. She has not lost a step mentally. I tell her, Grandma you're crazy, stop working so hard but it has no effect.
This is what the Black Forest in Colorado looks like. That's Pikes Peak in the background.
