I've already shared this album of pictures of our new Ambumobile

But the more mom and I use it the more we like it

And, as a #VanLife afficionado, I like the wide open space and the multiple tie down options

I've been a longhair off and on since the late 80s

When it's long, usually tied back, often a hat

Decided to try letting my #FreakFlag fly recently

Found this cap in my collection

Almost as functional as a ball cap, but a tad more stylish

With the right color cap and a more whimsical jacket, I think I can pull it off

Mobility Mobile

Our new ramp van arrived! My brother found this and fixed it up so mom can get around easier with her wheelchair ♿

It was configured for a driver who needs a wheelchair. The pilot seat slides about 3 ft back and swivels. The hand controls have been removed and put in storage.

There are multiple anchor points on the floor for securing your mobility device

I hadn't heard of #SYM motorcycles before. I like the retro look. Would make a fun town bike.

Exciting news! My brother found the perfect van to help mom get around with her wheelchair or Jazzy scooter! Should be here in a few days.

The 2016 Sprinter has a 2.1-liter 4-cylinder that makes 161 horsepower and an impressive 265 lb-ft of torque. It is coupled to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The 4-cylinder diesel is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

I was a contemporary of the kids

My sexual mores were in flux as an adolescent

My TV crushes included most of the cast

Except the youngest kids and Alice

Now that I'm in my 60s, Alice seems like the kind of person I'd like to be around

This ends today's episode of TV Therapy

Now things are getting really exciting!

I stand with my jazz hand friends, but personally, my joy is Fancy Parade waving.

GIF: Movie clip Parade Waving

Tuned in to some sort of Muppet space movie.

During the middle of the second act, some bipedal, sentient creatures made a much beloved appearance.
