Hi Nancy,

 NB> to do  NB>> it for him or not have time to fix before she leaves...

 RH> I think she's there for several hours in the morning, just gets his
 RH> breakfast while he's getting himself going. His sciatica and other
 RH> problems ensure that he's not the fastest mover in the morning so
 RH> she's probably got things in place while he's getting himself
 RH> downstairs.

 NB> So maybe he's just fussing for the sake of fussing.. ;)  No reason why
 NB> he wouldn't be able to provide input, even if he was having to take
 NB> his time actually getting downstairs..  :)

I think it's more fussing just to fuss, when it comes down to it. Unless
she's fixing eggs, pancakes, or something on that sort that he doesn't
consider breakfast food.

 RH> Just a matter of which cereal he wants to have, all other components
 RH> never vary. It's always coffee, orange juice, bread and jelly to go
 RH> with the cereal. Brown sugar for for hot cereal, white for cold, and a
 RH> bit of milk poured over top of it. Plus, of course, his personal
 RH> pharmacy each morning.

 NB> Of course..  ;)

He used to let Mom do his pills, as well as hers, until she started
mixing them up. At that point he took over, and found out what exactly,
he'd been taking. He used to know he needed a certain color or shape but
didn't pay attention to what the med was, now he knows color, shape,
name and use.

 NB>  RH>> Or start buildin an ark. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Or a backporch container garden... :)

 RH> I don't think he was that happy with the container gardening he tried
 RH> a few years ago. I think it's more "fun" for him to get into the dirt

 NB> Probably.  If it's raining too hard to get the garden in, something
 NB> more contained and protected might be preferable, but that's not
 NB> likely to be the case for too much longer into the season, one hopes..
 NB>  :)   The time may come when it's less fun to get into the dirt too
 NB> deeply, just
 NB> because it's too difficult, too...

They don't have much of a back porch and keep a couple of trash cans on
it, limiting the useable space. The container gardening he did, was done
on the unprotected back walkway to the garage. He also has to keep some
things (like the trash cans) bear proof.

 NB>  NB>>>>> ... Fruit tags would be grapely apricoted.
 NB>  RH>>>> As long as they're properly apple-ied..................
 NB>  NB>>>> Pears so...  ;)
 NB>  RH>>> Makes everything just peachy keen.
 NB>  NB>>> Berry nice...  ;)
 NB>  RH>> Not plum loco?
 NB>  NB>> Trying to send me bananas, are you...?
 NB>  RH>> Orange you glad we're so punny?
 NB>  NB>> Kiwi keep this up for much longer...?
 NB>  RH>> Cherry-o, chaps!
 NB>  NB>> We certainly don't want it to get ugli...

 RH> No, especially since we can't elope.

 NB> Or say our hon-I-dews?  :)

Those were said to the one olive.
