 RH>> Hopefully someone is. I talked to Dad a few minutes ago, progress is
 RH>> very slow. He's not on a "real" food diet yet, not sure if he's on
 RH>> liquids or IV only.
 NB>> How's his mood...?  Is he taking it in stride ok...?

 RH> I think he's somewhat discouraged at this point.

Understandable... hope things are getting a little better by now...
 
 NB>> Of course not...  That's why the calendar becomes more important to
 NB>> keep up with...  :)   The grandkid contributions are part of what
 NB>> keeps him connected, though, so they should stay up, anyway... :)

 RH> Yes, but he has to see it and recognise that there are appointments
 RH> written on it. Not fixing his meals, he's not going into the fridge
 RH> that much any more so doesn't always think to look for a calendar
 RH> and appointments.

So maybe the calendar should be moved to someplace where he sees it more
readily...  :)
 
 RH>>> found the magazine of ideas.
 NB>>> You just never know.   :)
 RH>> Lots of good projects in it, others on the Huh? side. I've used the
 RH>> cook book shelf a couple of times in the last few days--saves counter
 RH>> space and keeps the recipe closer to eye level.
 NB>> That's working out well, then.  :)   Some things you won't know unless
 NB>> you try them out, I suppose.. ;)

 RH> Still going thru and figuring what else will work for us.
 
That can be fun, though... even when it's more just dreaming... :)

 RH>> And now there are so many more energy efficient products, they can
 RH>> make an oven with the same amount of insulating value with much thinner
 RH>> materials. It allows for a larger oven capacity in a same width stove.
 NB>> True... but I've got no quarrels with the capacity of my oven even as
 NB>> it is... plenty large for what I need... :)

 RH> Not cooking a monster of a turkey or baking a dozen loaves of bread?
 
Never did, really..  But a good-sized turkey, many a time... Usually
only 2 loaves of bread at a time, but I think at one time I was doing 4,
for some of my recipes...  :)  Room enough for that, too...  :)

 RH>>> ... One of these days, I'll quit procrastinating.
 NB>>> You think that'd make a difference...?  (G)
 RH>> It's worth a thought, for what it's worth.
 NB>> Depends, I suppose, on how much is actually procrastination, and
 NB>> how much is trying to get too many things done at once... ;)

 RH> Some procrastination, some judicious postponment, some juggling and
 RH> letting a ball or two drop...........................

And hoping that the dropped balls are either rubber, to bounce back in
when time, or wood, to at least not shatter to smithereens... ;)  Very
familiar prospect...  ;)

ttyl        neb

... Everyone likes at least some kind of meat-shoved-in-thin-flatbread
