Hi Dale,

 SH> I'm short and have to climb into the vans at work.  So I understand
 SH> that move!

 RH> I think I've shrunk a bit over the years. Noticed that when I was
 RH> trying to get something from the top shelf of my spice cabinet (yes,
 RH> I've got a whole cabinet devoted to them) a while back. Had to get the
 RH> little one step stool I keep in the kitchen to get the crushed red
 RH> pepper. I also keep a one step stool in my sewing room to get to the
 RH> closet shelf.

 DS> Shrinking as we age seems to be a universal given.  I've shrunk an
 DS> inch and Gail perhaps two.

That's where the step stools come in handy. My mom was on the short side
so after she retired from the school library, she brought home (with the
school's OK) the step stool she used there. It had wheels, but they
locked once she put weight on the step. She used it in her kitchen but
eventually traded it in for a 2 step stool with a grab bar. We've got
one of the latter; good for reaching the topmost shelf in our pantry.

One of our favorites--I usually bake it. I do the coatings, then put in
a glass pan sprayed with non stick, spray some more on top and bake at
350 for 15 minutes or so. Works good with turkey cutlets too.
