Hi Nancy,

 RH> I think it's more fussing just to fuss, when it comes down to it.

 NB> What would he consider eggs or pancakes... a light supper...?

That, or lunch.


 NB>  RH>> Plus, of course, his personal pharmacy each morning.
 NB>  NB>> Of course..  ;)

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

 NB> Always a good thing to keep track of for one's self, even if someone

 NB> taking, but leave it to him to manage his own.

I was doing for both Steve & me for a while but we're back to doing our
own. I think we're both pretty well up on what each other takes, if not
totally sure of strengths, dosage times, etc.

 NB> hopes..  NB>>  :)   The time may come when it's less fun to get into
 NB> the dirt too  NB>> deeply, just because it's too difficult, too...

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

 NB> Ah... that does put a slightly different slant to it...  Your brother
 NB> should build him an attached greenhouse...?  (G)

In what spare time?


 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...
 NB>  RH>> No, especially since we can't elope.
 NB>  NB>> Or say our hon-I-dews?  :)

 RH> Those were said to the one olive.

 NB> (I suppose that's a fruit, sorta... also a real stretch...  maybe we
 NB> are out, now...)

Just don't ly, chee(t) any more.
