Ruby

Ruby's legs are short and she has some trouble walking, but manages to get where she wants to go and get there when she wants to be there. You might wish for more rapid progress towards a destination, but that's something you want - not Ruby.

Ruby frequently visits Evergreen Meadows Senior Community. Her many friends know when to expect her visit and gather together in one place so as not to inconvenience her. They chat and socialize. Ruby doesn't understand the conversation, but is attentive and interested. What more could you want from a good friend?
