Hi Shawn,


RH> in unless it was working.) I suspect it's now non working but Mom
RH> used it a lot, cooking for herself and Dad, baking (lots of cookies
RH> for the staff), even doing a small turkey one year for Thanksgiving.

 SH> Very nice!  I suspect you are right that the stove is now long
 gone.

I'm surprised they actually had one that worked. The kitchen area also
had a fridge and microwave, plus a decent sized sink but counter space
and storage space was very limited. There was also room in the apartment
for a small dining table between one side of the kitchen and living
room.


RH> Covid killed any travel plans, then my in laws moved up to New York
RH> State.

 SH> New york state is nice.

Cut off Westchester County and anything south of that, make it into
another state and you'll have a nice state to its' north. (G)


RH> that a doctor told her if she went by herself, or get things mixed
RH> up, so the (trained) second set of ears is good. I presume you run
RH> things by your sister for verification also.

 SH> Oh yes, if something doesn't sound right I call her and let her know
 SH> what I was told, and she either has the answer already or will
 SH> promptly drive over and figure it out.  She lives 5 mins away, I am
 SH> 1.5 hour drive away so she gets the brunt of the work.

My nearest siblings live several states north of here, takes more than a
day's drive.


RH> That was the year my mom was born. Her handwriting was always bad;

 SH> I can't believe it's coming up on 100.  She passed away in 1992 I
 SH> believe it was.

My mom passed away in 2014, dad in 2017. We always thought Dad would go
first; he was 7 years older and had several health issues. Didn't count
on Mom's dementia taking her but a couple of other side issues
exacerbated it.

RH> walked across the paper. She said that her father was a left handed
RH> but forced to use his right hand child; I've halfway wondered if
RH> that was the same situation for her.

 SH> Quite probably!

I'd say "most likely".

 SH> ... Camping (n.):  See "Heat Stroke", "Mud", and "Insects".

I grew up camping in tents; we called anything else "cheat camping". You
know, I'm enjoying the way I camp now more than the tents. (G)
