Many of you may know that in the last two months my life has changed drastically. Not in a bad way, but in a drastic way none the less. What happened? Well my almost 92 year old mother fell, was hospitalized for a month and then it was decided that she could no longer live on her own.
So, our family has shrunk over the years and now it is growing again. My mother has come to live with us! There will be some challenges ahead. Mother's Day is coming up quickly and it will be the first one she is spending in her new "home"! As always we are looking to make it special.
After 70 some years of Mother's Days under her belt, you would think there is nothing in the world she could truly want. Right?
Wrong! It seems that during her fall, her watch broke! We have had it to several watch repair places and they all say the same thing - "It's not worth fixing!" This was a watch that my father had purchased for her on one of their many trips home to Switzerland. So she really did not want to give it up!
So this Mother's Day we are on the hunt for a watch! This may seem like a no-brainer, but, when you have a lady who is used to having a "nice" watch, it's not so easy anymore. We are hoping that one of our choices will be close enough to her old watch, that she will enjoy the new one as much as the old.
There are so many new-fangled watches that keep track of steps taken, pulse rates, oxygen levels and so much more and she's not interested in any of that "nonsense"! Personally I think she could use the extras to make sure she gets some walking in, but that's me and not her!
She wants a replacement for her watch that told her the time and the date! She wants nothing more and nothing less. And none of this Plastic or Silicone bands for her! It has to be a metal bracelet type watch that is big enough for her to read but still looks nice. Nothing that is heavy and /or bulky!
As you can see there are lots of options available for someone who is looking for a "simple" but elegant watch. Sometimes all the new electronic watches with their multi purpose uses are just not fitting the bill. In her 92 years she has seen a lot of time pieces go by and the new ones just don't do anything for her at all.
