In the latest development, a 95 year old mother of four has taken over at the K & B, Bed and Breakfast Resort. "She ain't got to the hot tub, yet, but I kin see it acomin", states owner-operator Kenn Stinchfield. "She's like a swarm of bees takin' over the hive", exclaims Barb Stinchfield, "we're just unable to keep up with her up and down the stairs".

Mom is here to stay. She could no longer stay alone in her home in West Sacramento, so, we gave her the options of having someone move in and stay with her 24hrs/day; assisted living; or coming to Vancouver to stay with us. This was her choice and we are flattered with her decision.

It is a lot of work for Barb who devotes hours per day to taking care of Gramma S's needs. I think she works harder here at home than anytime she spent working out of the home. She's a trooper.

Kim's old bedroom is now Gramma's. We have transformed it into her own room, with her own things. She spends a lot of time with us downstairs, but still takes a lot of time in her room, crocheting and reading through old memoirs.

So, bear with us. We are taking care of another, seems like a 17 year old, however, she is 95.

We'll give occaisonal up-to-date reports on her status. Stay tuned.
