===========================
-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 01-16-16  16:26 <=-

 RH>>> Odd, did you figure out what caused it?
 NB>>> Yup... turned out that one of the wires at the pole had broken,
 NB>>> so we'd lost half the power to the house... Richard called RG&E,
 NB>>> and they came out and rehooked both wires, apparently the other
 NB>>> was fixing to go, too... :)  Was fixed quickly enough the same
 NB>>> day, thankfully... ;)
 RH>> Odd, but fixable. Hopefully you didn't have plans for a day's worth
 RH>> of cooking. (G)
 NB>> Or for messaging... (G)  I had hoped for a little more time on that,
 NB>> though...  ;)

 RH> I understand; I'm trying to get some Fido done before we go out
 RH> tonight. Pot luck gathering at the Legion for members/Auxillary--
 RH> we've got a pot of chili on the stove for it.

That sounds like fun... and I'm sure your chili was well received... :)

 NB>>> eyes weren't tracking together...
 RH>> And, since it's been a month, hopefully some improvement.
 NB>> Yes, she's making some definite progress...  Speech Therapist
 NB>> graduated her on Monday, and the OT yesterday... both said that
 NB>> she'd be able to continue to improve just from the family/helpers
 NB>> working with her...

 RH> Good! Family members, at this point, can be just as effective as the
 RH> trained therapists.
 
Especially since they work with her on a daily basis, instead of just
once a week

 RH>> If this is Tuesday, it must be Doctor X? (G)
 NB>> Or at least therapist X...  ;)  The doctor appointment went well..
 NB>> only needs to go back for a followup in 6 months...  :)

 RH> I saw my cardiologist earlier this week and got a 6 month follow up.
 RH> Had to tell him about the new since I saw him last developments.
 
But everything was stable for you with his concerns, apparently.. :)

 RH>> We're catching up on various appointments this month also.
 NB>> Most of ours are set for the last week of the month, after Lydia
 NB>> returns, and I'm off the hook more... :)  Although, I do have one
 NB>> middle of this coming week... :)  One more thing to juggle... ;)

 RH> Always something. Steve sees a VA doctor on Wednesday; I see my
 RH> primary care doctor Thursday. I've got a lot more to cover with him
 RH> but he has been following most of it already.
 
Always good to keep all the doctors fully in the loop...  :)  I saw my
hematologist yesterday, all the bloodwork was good, better than last
time even, in fact... She wants to followup in 6 months, too... it's now
been a year since my last iron infusion..  She mentioned that celery is
a source of iron, too... that's the only consistent addition to my diet
in this timespan... Eating more celery, and having the celery seed
extract capsules twice daily, instead of taking allopurinol for the
gout...  :)  Apparently a bonus good side effect for a change... (G)
 
 RH>> Yes, we took it on the trip so Steve could do cheesecakes for our
 RH>> daughters and their families. He also made a yummy chicken cachitori
 RH>> for both families.
 NB>> Sounds very tasty... :)  Both the cheesecakes and the cacchitori... :)
 NB>> And a multi-use device is particularly handy when one is camping and
 NB>> doesn't have a lot of storage available...  :)

 RH> That was one reason for taking it, on the hopes we'd be doing more
 RH> cooking on our own. Maybe we will on the next trip.
 
Especially if it isn't quite so family-loaded...  ;) 

 RH>> Didn't need them at all. We're going to eat the 2nd loaf of rye bread
 RH>> before I do any more whole wheat, probably next week.
 NB>> All in good time...   :)

 RH> I made whole wheat bread yesterday--had just enough flour to do so.
 RH> Have to mill some more before we do any more bread.

As I said, getting back into the normal routines... ;)

 NB>>> Followed by an extensive trip...  (G)
 RH>> Done, but still doing the catch up from that.
 NB>> Yuppers...  :)

 RH> I've still not sat down at the sewing machine yet, maybe next week.

No currently pressing projects there at the moment, I take it... :)  One
more thing to get back into normal routines with... :)
