 > I second that... we do miss you...

 JK> I'll try to stick around.. life as you know is nutso.. Next week I
 JK> have to take my two dogs (eh.. true mutts) to the vet. Indy, the boy,
 JK> has what looks like a big sebaceous cyst on his chest, and Sophie has
 JK> some kind of weird rash on her tummy (like bad reaction to something
 JK> outside or to her flea med,etc.).. I'm hoping for their sake they can
 JK> be treated easily.. they are not young anymore..(I think 10yrs. old
 JK> now?) 

Oh, I know how nutso life can get... I remember Indy and Sophie... hope
they are easily treated...  :)

 >> off.  She is over 99 now IIRC, and keeps us busy.
 > That can keep you busy, for sure... and I'm sure that you are also
 > enjoying having her with you, she sounds like one neat lady... :)

 JK> She is... and thankfully we have lots of help for her... Aides come in
 JK> 3x a week for her alone (showers, cleaning her room, doing her
 JK> laundry), when we run to Dr's offices for her or us we have my son keep
 JK> an eye on things while we're gone. My daughter has moved to Philly
 JK> (Oracle) so it's great that he's living here.

Yup, good that you have your son there with you... :)  And also very
good that her aides take care of the bulk of the extra work she might
have been for you...  :)
 
 >> ok?  She said, Oh yes, _certainly_ and then said, 'you should see all
 >> the amazing things that Janis cooks here!'  I smiled at that, it was
 >> funny to see her bragging to them about my cooking :)
 > And nice that she is obviously appreciative of your cooking...

 JK> Oh yeah, one thing this lady appreciates is good food LOL I'm glad she
 JK> does really :)  She and I are planning the apple/pumpkin pies right now
 JK> that I'll make this fall :)
 
Will she at least keep you company in the kitchen while you make
them...?  Are you planning fancy versions...?

 > I'm sure that living with you and having good meals cooked for her and
 > good company to eat them with has done a lot for keeping her in good
 > health... failure to thrive is such a problem usually for the very
 > elderly...

 JK> One of the meals-on-wheels coordinators always says how wonderful
 JK> things are for her here.  That's good I think.  Meals-on-wheels sends a
 JK> lady to make sure the food we get for Aunt Gert is ok with her :)

Do they supply some backup meals for her...?  or just make sure you are
feeding her well....
 
 >> I always have greek yogurt here as well.. I make it in my Instant Pot,
 >> it is so good and so easy.. :)  I'll post more about that here in
 >> another message.
 > Sounds like you need to get back to posting... ;)

 JK> I'm getting there Lol

Yup... good thing...  and I did see your post on making the yogurt... :)
