It turns out that Mother's new caregiver is only 23 years old, and yesterday was her first day on the job. I have mixed feelings about that...in a way I wish she were more experienced, but then she's young and flexible and not set in her ways, so Mom should be able to get her to do almost anything around the house. She made a couple of minor mistakes today (leaving lights on in the basement) but nothing that isn't correctable. She says she doesn't know how to do Mother's hair in rollers - so maybe we can keep Shannon on just to do the hair once a week!
After going to Mother's, I went shopping, put beef and carrot stew in the crock pot, and noticed that the lid was broken. So now I need a new crock pot. And a new iron. I see more shopping in my future.
Dick took down the outside lights except for the multi-colored ones on the tree we can see from the living room. Because they're too pretty to put away right now.
We've both logged a lot of computer time today - me at pogo.com, and Dick at geocaching.com. It's a good life.
