 NB>> And, with retirement and disability pay, you had some income coming
 NB>> in...  I think every family/couple has to work out what's best for
 NB>> them, both school-wise and income-wise... and family-wise...  The
 NB>> balance may well be different in each instance, but some balance
 NB>> needs to be set. :)

 RH> Yes, the balance differs from family to family. Some of the young
 RH> wives in our church are part time nannies--good experience to work
 RH> with children before having their own.

If it doesn't totally turn them off having kids of their own... ;)

 RH> (Betty Crocker kid'scook book)
 RH>>> I ought to grab it next time I'm up and send it to Sarah &
 RH>>> Audrey.  Sarah is old enough to start using it; she will be 6 in
 RH>> a couple of weeks.
 NB>>> Hopefully they will treasure it and use it happily.. :)  Mine
 NB>>> got so much use that it's rather battered now... wouldn't pass
 NB>>> along too well, unless to someone that could be very gentle with
 NB>>> it...  :)
 RH>> I'll have to check the condition of mine. Mom used it almost every
 RH>> year as Don liked the snow man cake for his January birthday.
 NB>> I bet that page got a bit messier than the rest of the book..  ;)

 RH> I used the sugar cookie recipe a lot, especially in high school when
 RH> our class had a dance as a fund raiser. I'd then turn around and work a
 RH> shift selling refreshments, including the cookies I'd made, usually
 RH> that afternoon. I'm not sure if Mom got the hot fudge pudding recipe
 RH> from that cook book or her big Betty Crocker book but that was a
 RH> favorite family dessert.

There's some more chance for well-worn pages...  :)

 NB>>>> You can take some advantage of it just for current meals...  :)
 RH>>> I'm going to hold off--too close to the end of the month to be
 RH>>> comfortable spending much more money.
 NB>>> There is that.  :)
 RH>> Also trying to empty out the freezer a bit to facilitate moving it.
 NB>> Now that you know that you are moving... :)  You can refill it once
 NB>> it's properly moved... :)

 RH> Still not 100% guaranteed but closer. And, the freezer is getting
 RH> emptier.
 
And if something happens that you don't move, you can fill it then,
too...  :)  But in the meantime, you can empty it down...  :)

 RH>> Not short, and not fun. It's been 2 1/2 months since the stroke,
 RH>> since he's been home. Don't know how much longer he has to go.
 NB>> Good question.  Hope it all is going well, though.  :)

 RH> Don hasn't updated recently so going on the "no news is good news"
 RH> theory right now. Don't know how the house buying/closing will change
 RH> our potential November travel plans but we'll see, as things progress.

Things will make themselves more evident as you get closer to time
anyway...  And yes, if things were going sour down there, you'd more
likely hear about that sooner than later...
