@ray666 As I mentioned, before I have a wonderful young woman who comes in once a week for only 3 hours, and she does wonders. My daughter is quite the gardener and she is here for Thanksgiving week. They are both out in the front yard chatting away while pruning the shrubs to get them ready for winter. She is a delight. She knows my daughter has food allergies and can't eat chicken eggs. She brought us 18 duck eggs! Duck eggs, since the bird flu epidemic are like gold! We'll have Swedish pancakes, maybe a very late birthday cake (daughter's bd is in May) maybe it's an early bd cake! Possibly a smoked salmon, asparagus frittata. My next step is to see if my helper can come in another half day or portion of a day. I do hope you can find someone who works well with you, is flexible, and willing to do whatever needs doing. My very best wishes to you.
