Hi Nancy,

Good stores do tend to spoil you. BTW, I remembered to ask at the market
yesterday about the brussels sprouts. I was told that they're that sixe
because that's when her husband decides to pick them, nothing special
about a smaller size sprout. They'd probably get bigger if he left them
on the stalk longer.

At least she's in a familiar environment, with her kids and grandkids
looking out for her. A hospital or rehab place can be overwhelming, even
under the best of conditions. I'm sure you and your sister are firm
about her doing the exercises but without the "intimidation" of a
professional in uniform.

Understood, it does take a while after a major issue.

 NB>  NB>> Finally...!   (G)  And indeed good timing... :)

 RH> Very much so. Had a short visit with her, a longer one with another
 RH> former neighbor.

 NB> Always nice to renew old friendships...  :)

Yes, and Steve was able to help her out with a problem she was having
with her fridge. She's going to have to order a new part but Steve will
put it in when we get home. Beats having to buy a new fridge which is
what she was thinking of doing.


 NB>  NB>> ... I'm for helping the elderly. I'm going to be old myself,

 RH> Some days I feel every day of my age, others I wonder why I'm

 NB> Some parts of me are definitely younger than other parts... ;)

Young at heart, slightly older in other places?
