That’s the idea! Put ‘em to work … friends included. My daughter and I could share a kitchen, but her husband and mine couldn’t. The men are the cooks in our houses.

John,
Calling in the experts is what they’re there for.

As for “deep” as opposed to “more traveled”, I wasn’t thinking ‘under’ but ‘into’ … as in geezerWood — a lovely old-growth forest. (How’s that for spin?)

I don't know about you Sandra, but I have sure had the ball get stuck in the ball return, then you have to get help. Wow, it really is a lot like parenting.<br /> <br /> Deep in gezzerhood, Sandra, some of us are further into that journey than you are. How about 'More traveled' instead of deep? Spin counts. John Bowling balls, that does explain the judgement issues with teenagers. I don’t know about you Sandra, but I have sure had the ball get stuck in the ball return, then you have to get help. Wow, it really is a lot like parenting.

Deep in gezzerhood, Sandra, some of us are further into that journey than you are. How about ‘More traveled’ instead of deep? Spin counts. John

Since Hubby has MS, when they are here, we keep them busy “being our legs.” They are gracious and willing, but it does cut the slacking short! any friend of thiers who spends more than 60 minutes a week hanging at our place is pressed into service as well.

daughter could never share a kitchen with me full time, no way. we’d both go mad. we quite possibly already are! only time will tell…..
