Does your MIL like hiking?

She started hiking last night in minus 5 degree weather. I had to go get her.

Did she have her crossovers on?

1/31/23 9:50am

Sorry. In seriousness, sounds like it's' time for her to go in a home. My grandpa had to do that

You definitely had to get her

My mom got it in mid 50s. By the time she was 62, she was mostly gone mentally. It is terrible.
