Angie called on Sunday! She's at her daughter Johanna's in Lewisport. Jo said she thought Mary's b-day was on the 20th. We got disconnected, which was fortunate because I had to call them back on my cell phone, which I don't often use due to it being a ToGo phone (no free minutes), and I discovered that the speaker phone on my cell phone is louder than the one on the regular phone, so Mary was able to understand much more. Not that it helped the conversation that much! Those two are a bit out of it :-) Yesterday evening I got Mary to call Anna since she'd be able to understand her this time. They both seemed to really enjoy the conversation but as soon as Mary hung up she said, "Now I don't know who that was!" O je!
I made Lentils and Sausage last night, so I got Mary to cut the sausage up. I'm always so glad when I have something for her to do. Actually, she did a much better (more consistent and closer to what I wanted) job this time than ever before! I like the sausage cut up into 1/4 inch coins. One time I had her doing it and she remarked that she didn't care for a job that had to be done so particularly! She wanted to just cut them up all willy-nilly, but that doesn't look very nice, now does it? Dinner was delicious, by the way :-) I had this old box of Dr Oetker Flan/Creme Caramel so I went ahead and made that for dessert while the Lentils were cooking. Mary enjoyed it so much. That's funny because she never cared for pudding. She likes everything now--well, except for watermelon. She still won't eat that!
It has snowed, so I think I'll make some marshmallows. I hope she will lick the whisk. It's so funny to see her tackle it and get the marshmallow everywhere. She always says, "You made this? I've never had homemade marshmallow!" She's always asking me, "You made this? Well, honey, you did a good job!" She's always so appreciative. That's probably why I take care of her--purely for the ego-stroking!
