I'm not sure about making her earn her keep. But there is no harm if she is physiclly capable to operate a riding lawn mower. Actually getting out and doing something is much better for her than sitting around.

It all depends on their physical as well as mental condition. My great-grandpa was in his mid-nineties and still driving and doing his own grocery shopping. He felt great!
If your in your 70's and in the early stages of dementia, I wouldn't recommend riding a lawn mower!

Great idea darl, why don't you get her to dig a hole about six feet deep, in the back garden as well? That will save you an awful lot of trouble when she has her heart attack.

ahh you're never to old for a ride on lawnmower.
in my opinion, everybody looks ridiculous on one of those things so age isnt really a factor

Anyone who can't stand -up straight w/o losing balance. Or anyone w/ alzheimers.

Your lack of respect for your elders boggles my mind.

Probably not a good idea.
