(I can just hear you saying, "Hay...Hey, Robin. (I can just hear you saying, "Hay is for horses.")<BR/><BR/>Duh, why didn't I think of the time limit thing? Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Neither woman has a computer. That is one of the reasons they come to see me - so I can look up things for them.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if he told you, but B... invited me to your house for Thanksgiving dinner. That was really nice. I really appreciated his offer. Thankfully, M & M brought Mom and me a big plate of food.<BR/><BR/>My sweet daughter cooked her first Thanksgiving dinner for her dad and her great-uncle at Mom's house.

Brainstorming random ...You seriously want advice? Brainstorming random advice:<BR/><BR/>---get them hooked on blogging...no time left for visiting.<BR/>--give their names/addresses to local LDS church who will bombard them with "visits."<BR/>--announce as they arrive that you are delighted to see them, then look at your watch and say that, unfortunately, you have only 30 minutes to spare "this time" (next time say 20 or 40, but always imply that your time is limited). Be in a hurry when that time is up and announce "oh, I'm SO sorry to have to cut our visits short, but with the business and all..." Next time you could vary it by adding "But I'm not complaining...it pays the bills" or "I just can't wait to retire someday!"<BR/><BR/>P.S.
