:welcome from a former resident of Midlands SC (Saluda county). Piedmont, where you are living, is colder and more mountainous the the rest of SC. Unfortunately, when I lived in Fountain Inn, I wasn't able to even have a garden.
I recently moved back to my hometown of Kansas City MO, so I...
I will do a pot of boiling water, here now....if needed. I moved in with my Dad, to take care of him, and he doesn't even want for me to run the water till the hot water comes in.
Dishes; when I lived in SC the past 10 yrs, the property had an insufficient well, as well as our county being in drought. So the first few years I was there, I would mainly wash dishes at breakfast time. Unless I cooked something that made a lot of mess. I was also using gray water for...
I am currently weeding though way too many dishes, pots & pans, disposable ware, plastic ware, you name it. Seriously, Dad (94), and myself (57), do not need a who;e bunch of food cooked, nor eaten. And then add to the fact that late step mom seems to have hoarded pounds and bags pf...
We'll need to exchange info then. I haven't even begun to go through them. Let me know what your interests are, and when I sort, I will set aside a stack for you.
Oh wow, you are close by. Maps says 61 miles away. No need to send by mail if we can meet in the middle. :thumbsup
I did a modified Keto diet kind of thing. I know I need to eat some carbs, just be more aware which carbs aren't doing me any good. I can't handle a strict Keto diet. I have to eat some carbs.
In 2013, I started getting lots of eggs from my little flock of chickens. So I half heartedly experimented with Keto diet. Low carb and all. Eating 3 eggs scrambled at breakfast. A light lunch, and less of whatever I cooked for the husband for supper.
By spring, when he and I were walking...
Okay, so when I move in with Dad, his request is that I try to sell as much as possible of late step moms stuff. She was a voracious reader. She has probably 20ft worth of books I need to sell. I haven't even touched them yet. I am still working my way through her sewing room and the...
Omg Steve. Family drama. There aren't many of us family members left these days. At least no one with any direct say to Dad's estate. He is giving each of his G-kids $500.00. No more. And only 2 of us girls even had children.
Thanks for every ones replies. I have been reading a caregiver email now for 2 years, and looking into anything local for myself. I am also a member of AARP, as I figure it can have some helpful tips.
Stepmom had no other relatives living, by the time she passed away at age 91. So no...
Right now, he only likes to tell his stories to his church friends. Basically only one story, of his being on a ship in Philipine harbor and ship getting torpedoed on Christmas Eve.
I try to get him to talk about his early days and family, but he shuts that down pretty fast. Apparently...
