Spring rain

The cloud has moved down to the South, it starts to rain this morning. My garden can have some free water then. Lucky us, grandparents visit cousin yesterday, so we don't need to go out today within raining day. Also all duvets, bedsheets, pillow cases and pillow towels are washed and dried and then folded and packed!!! We are so efficient.
Grandpa walks more often and longer in KHH, although he only walks in the 2nd floor. Grandda's left leg couldn't move more than 5 cm. Walking up and down stairs took a lot of energy out of grandpa. Grandpa got carsick and also dizzy from walking, he can't stand more than 10 minutes. Grandpa worked since he was 5-6 until 80. When he couldn't work in field, his health felt. Many old ppl are like grandpa, they don't know what to do after retired. They are in their own world. Now, I'd like to know how to communicate with grandda.
During the day, we watch TV with grandparents. They are surprised the programmes can be filmed around the world. Grandma saw the travelling programme in Slovakia, she asked so many questions. Grandma only speaks Taiwanese, so we have to translate. She was impressed to see different countries' life styles. Through TV programmes, we can see the world without travelling and so many visa problems. Time flies and things change a lot, even my parents can't really get used to new changes, such as computer skills. Just a easy tast like MRT, it's a bit complicated for 60 yrs old. This reminds me, I should try to get my parents on MRT!!! Mom has tried MRT in Paris, but she had no idea where she was untill she saw the pics album with remarks.
