Heather Echola This is a discussion sight, and to make a discussion you have to participate. I know in the past I have missed responding to some, but I try to do much better now.

Besides eating a hot and hearty lunch, when we went to Cracker Barrel we of course browsed in the store. Look who I found hanging out with Elvis. It's Bob Ross, with a picture of his "happy little trees". I think the ornament was...

Heather Echola Some of the kids at school still look up to Bob Ross. I have lots of plain, non exceptional ornaments. I am old. I have a lot.

Heather Echola I think it would have to be potatoes of any kind. Actually we have such a variet y of foods I cannot say any one is a staple. Right now we should say "soup" as I have been making a variety of soups the lat few days.

Heather Echola If he has no exposure to regular sunlight and things to mark his days he can get disoriented and call you very late like he has been or forget to call at all. It sounds as if his days all run into one another.
