Mom's getting busy

Went over to Mom's yesterday. She had a list of things she needed done. While Greg took care of the big stuff, like the bills and a crack in the basement floor, I hung a couple of curtains in the upstairs hall and bathroom. She'd made wonderful ginger cookies in Christmas shapes and stored them in a box in the spare bedroom downstairs. When I asked her why she kept them there, she asked me where I would have put them? Did it seem condescending to say 'the kitchen?'

Greg mentioned that she had turned up the heat for me and that she doesn't do it when he comes over by himself.

She's very proud of the fact that she is keeping her food budget down to $35 a week even though we explain, several times, that she doesn't need to cut corners!

As to the busy part; she called last night and told me that she's going out to a dinner with the Office on Aging tonight and tomorrow is going over to Pat's house for dinner.
