Hi Nancy,

 RH> OK, thanks for the update.

 NB> Further, when I was there yesterday, she was seeming more herself,

 NB> any
 NB> length of time (ie more than seconds)... But that seems to be coming

Some things take time. My brother wasn't able to stand on his own for a
while after the surgeries and the infection set in. His system was quite
overcome by everything that the body threw at him.

 NB> bed and various permutations thereof...  And wanting to sit at her
 NB> table to eat instead of having a lap table in the recliner..  :)

Stubborn, but in a good way. That's the kind of attitude that'll get her
back on her feet quicker than an "it'll come, in time" sort.


 RH> We're ending strawberry season, just on the fringe of blueberry time.
 RH> Picked up probably the last box we'll buy this year of the former on
 RH> Monday to use for just plain eating as I've got a good amount in the
 RH> freezer already.

 NB> You certainly are ahead of us on the growing seasons...  :)

if we can keep the colder weather at bay. It was in the upper 40s only
an hour or so north of here last night, and the upper 50s (normal for
our area) a couple of hours south of us. Had a high of 71 yesterday, a
bit too cool for this time of year. Today was in the mid 70s, with low
humidity.

 NB>  RH>>>> We'll give it to Steve in exhange for his brussels sprouts.
 NB> (G)  NB>>>> That could work... ;)
 NB>  RH>>> Easier for me to do than you, however.
 NB>  NB>>> Generally..  :)
 NB>  RH>> But, you will be able to do so in a few months, up at the pond.
 NB> Don't  RH>> know if we will have any sprouts tho. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Probably not... by then they'll be WAY out of season...  ;)

 RH> Way out for last year, way early for this year. I think of them more
 RH> as a late fall crop.

 NB> They are at their best after the first frosts sweeten them... I think
 NB> of them mostly as a winter veggie... unless I get them frozen...  :)

I see them at the farmer's market in late October, early November.
They're a lot smaller than the ones usually sold in stores, but just as
good, if not better.


 NB>  NB>>> ... ME sane?  I don't think so!!  ;*)
 NB>  RH>> I can fully identify with that line at times.
 NB>  NB>> Yeah... life has that effect at times... ;)

 RH> Does it ever! This week included a delivery a fruit basket for the
 RH> family of a deceasd veteran, a visitation at the funeral home for the
 RH> husband of one of the ladies in my quilting group and services for him
 RH> the next day. That was just Monday afternoon/evening and Tuesday
 RH> morning, today was fairly normal.

 NB> At least in comparison, eh...?  ;)  I think things will settle down a
 NB> little for me after I get back from the Pond after the weekend...
 NB> maybe... partly depends on how much time I still need to donate to
 NB> "Mommy care" by then...  :)

I tell people that normal is just a setting on my dryer. (G)
