Hi Nancy,

 RH> Yes, I think the VA is looking many years down the road in this. It
 RH> will be nice having a rail on both sides tho. If and when we will need
 RH> it, the back entrance is more adaptable for a ramp tho.

 NB> The rail was for the front entrance...?

Yes, there's not much of a porch out front so Steve fastened the rail to
the house.

 NB> get down so low,  RH>> especially as knees and other joints aged.
 NB>  NB>> So the ovens were stacked, not side by side?  Was that an
 NB> electric  NB>> or a gas stove...?

 RH> They were stacked, and IIRC, it was an electric stove. I don't see
 RH> where stacked ovens would work well with a gas stove.

 NB> Oh, I dunno... they stack gas dryers at the laundromat...  But I'd
 NB> more expect it, as you say, with an electric stove...

And since this house has an electric stove, Steve says not really
condusive to hooking up gas so eventually we'll have to get another
electric stove.

 NB>  NB>> You hope....!   ;)   I suppose you are figuring that as long as
 NB> you  NB>> are there, there'd be such a flurry of activity that he'd
 NB> not think  NB>> to notice anything, eh....?

 RH> Truthfully, I don't expect him to be around much longer--our next trip
 RH> up may be to say "good bye" or for final services. At that point, he
 RH> would be beyond caring about what's in the kitchen. (G)

 NB> Good point.  :)   However, he might well surprise you and hang in for
 NB> a while yet...  :)

Based on Don's reports, I don't think he will last too much longer.

 NB>  RH>> It did the same with some aluminum tumblers they'd gotten as a
 NB> wedding  RH>> present. They thought everything could go into the
 NB> dishwasher but  RH>> found out that wasn't so.
 NB>  NB>> Sometimes there's something good to be said for not having a
 NB>  NB>> dishwasher... one is less likely to inadvertently damage some
 NB>  NB>> things. ;)

 RH> Also a case of getting your first dishwasher as you're slipping into
 RH> dementia. We had to tell Mom and Dad every time we were up how to load
 RH> and maintain the machine--Dad is finally getting the idea now but the
 RH> dishwasher isn't used very much any more.

 NB> Not great timing, true...  Even without dementia, learning new
 NB> technology can be quite the curve for older minds... younger ones,
 NB> too, sometimes...  ;)

Mom never did get into technology. I think her mind was beginning to go
for years, at a much slower pace initially as she always had trouble
with computers and other technology as it came out. She did use a
microwave oven, but only for basics, that didn't take much brainwork to
master.


 RH> We won't be that long without kefir, closing is in 2 weeks. We've
 RH> moved a number of boxes of stuff over to the storage unit, working on
 RH> getting round 2 ready to go. That'll give us working room to pack up
 RH> the rest of the house.

 NB> Hard to believe how fast time flies sometimes... :)  Sounds like
 NB> you've got yourselves well organized for the move...  :)

The living room is so stacked with boxes that I can't even see into the
kitchen. (G) They're waiting to be filled but by the end of the week,
probaby will all be filled. I packed up most of my cook books this
afternoon.
