 RH>> My dad was doing a combination of both. He took over from Mom when he
 RH>> saw she was having trouble but now my brother is doing most of the
 RH>> banking work for him.
 NB>> My sister helps my mom with hers, but so far Mommy has to sign all her
 NB>> checks... hasn't put anyone else on the account with her, and doesn't
 NB>> do financial things online at all.

 RH> My dad still signs the checks but I think my brother can also, using
 RH> his POA.

Ah.  So far, as far as I know, Mommy hasn't set up a POA yet, either...
that probably should be done soon, while it still can be done..  at
least so far her declines have all been physical pretty much...  :)
 
 NB>> On the other hand, the bank where the Pond association has its
 NB>> account is just about as good as our credit union here in town... at
 NB>> least as long as I'm doing business in the Hermon branch, where the
 NB>> account was actually started...  :)

 RH> We had help from a branch bank once--but Steve had known the teller
 RH> that helped him so that might have been why we had the extra help.

Quite possibly... :)

 RH> And yummy! Steve walked out to Lowe's today but forgot to get one
 RH> thing on the list. He did get one thing not on it tho.

Not bad... both on the only one omission, and on the only one
addition... especially if the addition might have been something that
should have been on the list to begin with... ;)
 
 RH>> Yes, it beat having nothing. Helped to have friends with young kids
 RH>> who loaned us toys and a bouncer for Jaxon.
 NB>> I'm sure that did help!  :)

 RH> Very much! Logan tore up the cardboard box the blocks were in so N
 RH> said "any bag" would do to put them in. I made a bag out of denim, with
 RH> blocks appliqued on, for a replacement.
 
No doubt more than your friend was expecting... :)

 NB>> The soda bread was one of the tasting items at Wegmans the Friday
 NB>> before... I usually look for the Irish potato bread at the season, we

 RH> OK, I've made soda bread before.

That's one I haven't tried before... easy enough to get it at the store. 
 
 NB>> got this instead...  :)   No leftover cabbage except for what was
 NB>> cooked up in the dinner, so it all got eaten with...  I got just half
 NB>> a relatively small head of cabbage, just enough for the pot..  :)

 RH> I tried to get a small head but couldn't so made some of the extra
 RH> into cole slaw today. The rest might go into hot slaw.
 
I had a produce worker cut one in half for me...  some years I've taken
both halves, especially when I was buying for someone else as well (took
one for me, and the other went into her groceries)... But this year I
just took the one half...  :)

 RH>>> Not really, I just didn't give it the attention I should have.
 RH>>> Kept the heat a bit too low so the cheese didn't melt like it
 RH>>> should have.  But, it still tasted good.
 NB>>> Ah.  That could do it...  :)
 RH>> Attention to detail, no multi tasking. I'd done it before so knew it
 RH>> was possible.
 NB>> Some things can cook themselves practically, others need to be better
 NB>> monitored... ;)

 RH> Yes, and the ones that need to be monitored, really need the watching.
 RH> It's easy to take your eye off them for a split second and ruin
 RH> whatever is being made (speaking from experience).

Learn the hard way... ;)  I tend to not do any of that sort of thing...
too easy to get distracted by something...  ;)
