Dear Bjk3-
Thank you for such a great message!
The practical details are valuable, and have give my wife and me some things to discuss. We really need to make some changes in our kitchen before it is an emergency.
But what touches me is your open to change, let's keep moving approach.
Your post gives me a great, happy smile and a we-can-do-it spirit lift.
You know, if it eventually comes down to "all we can do is take care of ourselves," that is something we can rejoice in.

Dear Ed -
Thank you for your kind words. Your whole response is such an encouragement! And I totally agree with what you said in, "if it eventually comes down to 'all we can do is take care of ourselves', that is something to rejoice in." !! While my number one hope is to stay clear of any assisted-type living situation, my other number one hope is that I don't put my kids into a "sandwich generation" difficulty. And it seems to me that anything I can do before it becomes an emergency, will keep those hopes alive. At the same time, I know stuff happens. But yes! It's good to rejoice when we are able to take care of ourselves. Thanks again, Ed. I pray you and your wife will both stay healthy and safe!
