Doing something good

Today is Sunday and dad and Grandma Trumbo have gone to Farmington to see Martin. So Dad is doing a good deed today.
I have been going over to Kathryn Hungerford to help a little around the house, on Wednesdays. You all may or may not know she has MS. She needs a little help from time to time, and Ken has been a super husband and does 99% of all her care, so really I just wash her hair and do a little house work and stuff he can't get too.
Well this last week she asked if I could make her some adult bibs, as she is prone to dropping things when she tries to eat, a very common thing for lots of people with all sorts of health issues. So I got creative and made this one first:






Then I felt like making something fun.. so I did this one: (notice the bubble bees)


Then I got serious and remembered she wanted one she could wear when eating out, So I made this one:

Don't you all just love my model I used for displaying these bibs.. Don't tell me dad doesn't have a good sense of humor.. I did have to promise him I would make him one when he needed it some day. ha. Anyway Kathryn and Ken loved them and I am sure they will get lots of use.

Great job on the bibs. I would bet there not cheep if you had to buy them. That was a very cool thing you did for them.

Very nice job, as always. Personally, I think the first or second one would be the best for using in public. The third one's contrast draws too much attention to itself, so I'd think that would be the one you wouldn't want in public. The bumble bee is my personal favorite. Maybe I should get a bib... not because I'm old or lacking coordination, rather I'd just like to be lazier while eating -- or practice tossing the food into my mouth.
