 NB>>> These are still intact within their wrappers, just broken.
 NB>>> Might still work as cocoa stirrers...  ;)
 RH>> Don't see why they wouldn't, unless they're too broken up. In that
 RH>> case, just toss them into the cocoa.
 NB>> That should work, too...

 RH> Tonight would be a good night for hot cocoa down here. Instead, tho,
 RH> we went to Bojangles for supper (cajun style chicken--with a kick) to
 RH> warm up. (G)

Guess the weather wasn't too frightful for venturing out, then... ;)

 NB>>> your dad interested in eating...  :)  I know it helped my
 NB>>> neighbor eat better when she had company while she ate...  :)
 RH>> I did leave some meals for Dad, and Don is aware of what I did. Dad's
 RH>> caregiver and housekeeper also know they're there.
 NB>> And hopefully they will keep him company as well...   :)

 RH> His housekeeper usually does have lunch with him, but not his
 RH> caregiver. 

Any chance Don would/could take the time to go eat with him, maybe not
every day, but on a regular basis...?
 
 NB>> And that the infection stays well away once he does go home...  He
 NB>> may be so glad to be back home out of rehab that the major changes
 NB>> won't be as much of an issue as they might have been...

 RH> Either that or he will be so overwhelmed by being out of total care
 RH> that he will retreat even more into his cave. Don is trying to get
 RH> some things in place to prevent that tho.
 
And now that isn't a worry anymore, after all... perhaps all for the
better... 

 NB>>> It's a process... Seeing the kids is good therapy for him,
 NB>>> though... so hopefully the girls can follow through...  Will
 NB>>> Deborah and Rachel and families be able to come in the spring,
 NB>>> do you think...?
 RH>> Deborah is planning to go up, maybe as soon as next month, with the
 RH>> little boys. Don't know Rachel's plans yet.
 NB>> It will all help him work through it all... interacting with the
 NB>> kids, either in person or via Skype...  :)

 RH> But we have to get him to understand that he needs to let the camera
 RH> see what he's doing. He'll pretend to tickle them or something similar,
 RH> and they can't see it, then not understand what he's doing. When he was
 RH> "playing airplanes" with Logan, we got him to hold his plane up to the
 RH> camera most of the time.
 
He'll learn... eventually, anyway, and probably, anyway... ;)

 RH>> I was burning quite a few carbs and my numbers did stay good. Been
 RH>> working back into my usual eating over the last few days too, very
 RH>> low carb today. Numbers stayed good after the one higher day because
 RH>> I made sure I balanced carbs and proteins.
 NB>> And now that you can go back to your more normal routine, things
 NB>> should stay pretty well balanced...  :)

 RH> Trying to keep balanced, tonight's supper was heavy on carbs but was
 RH> also high protein which helped balance the carbs.

And you probably were in a condition to need both, still...  :)

... You have to ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste
