 NB>> So far, as far as I know, Mommy hasn't set up a POA yet, either...
 NB>> that probably should be done soon, while it still can be done..  at
 NB>> least so far her declines have all been physical pretty much...  :)

 RH> Yes, but don't put it off too long once you see the start of the
 RH> mental decline. She may resist/resent it but it will save problems in
 RH> the long run. Steve's younger sister does the same for their
 RH> folks--goes down to FL every so often to take care of things like that.

We can (sorta) gang up on her...  She tends to listen to my brother Rob,
who has the co-executorship with me for her will... as well as to my
sister Lydia that she lives with, and to me... also to another sister
and her hubby... we might just have to talk it out at family camping
when we're all together...  ;)  I agree it shouldn't wait too long...
better set in place too early (and kept inactive until actually needed)
than being put off too long.   :)
 
 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.
 NB>> Not bad... both on the only one omission, and on the only one
 NB>> addition... especially if the addition might have been something
 NB>> that should have been on the list to begin with... ;)

 RH> It was an optional. I could have made my own mayo but he got a ride
 RH> the next day out to Lowe's and picked it up. Ended up not needing it
 RH> for the potato salad I made for Life Group (just enough in the old jar)
 RH> but now I have it for the next time I need it. 

That works...  :)

 RH> Potato salad was red potatoes cooked, then a cup of (home made)
 RH> Italian dressing poured on them after draining but while they were
 RH> still hot, hard boiled egg and dressing of mayo mixed with about a
 RH> tablespoon or two each of cider vinegar and spicy brown mustard. Got
 RH> lots of compliments at Life Group today. 

Sounds pretty yummy...  :)

 RH> Small turn out so I brought some home.

So you can enjoy it longer...  :)   I don't mind bringing home leftovers
of things we enjoy... as long as it isn't too much to eat in reasonable
time... ;)

 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,
 RH>> with blocks appliqued on, for a replacement.
 NB>> No doubt more than your friend was expecting... :)

 RH> Quite so! But, it will help her kids keep their blocks organised and
 RH> have a remembrence of their time in WF.

For many years to come... :)

 NB>> I had a produce worker cut one in half for me...  some years I've
 NB>> taken both halves, especially when I was buying for someone else as
 NB>> well (took one for me, and the other went into her groceries)... But
 NB>> this year I just took the one half...  :)

 RH> No produce worker around when I grabbed this head. I only used about
 RH> 2/3 of the red cabbage the other night so the small parts left from
 RH> both will go into either hot or cold slaw.

That works, too...  :)  

 NB>>> Some things can cook themselves practically, others need to be
 NB>>> better 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).
 NB>> Learn the hard way... ;)  I tend to not do any of that sort of
 NB>> thing... too easy to get distracted by something...  ;)

 RH> I should have known better--and will remember next time that I need to
 RH> make the sauce first, then do everything else.

And you'll have the memory of this time to help you remember... ;)
