Kmeb:

I am utterly joyous for you. How nice that you have nice trustworthy people to do this for you.

One less load off of your mind, right?

There are probably services like that in my area. Thankfully I dont' need this, and hopefully I won't for a long time to come. I have a neighbor around the corner who is about 89. Most of the people in my neighborhood have lived in the same house for 60 years or more. The lady across the street is 99 and still goes shopping with her pushcart. Can you believe that??

Well, the 89 year old has Meals on Wheels delivered every day. Others do also. I think this is a very good idea. But I've read in the newspaper today, where they are changing the serving meals to the elderly. They want to substitute what they do now, and have them get frozen meals every day that they can pop in their microwave.

My god, can you imagine when the only meal you get a day is the one that Meals on Wheels delivers?

And they want to change the type of meal that they are delivering??

Good grief!!

P.S. And this is interesting. Among the people in my neighborhood over the age of 55 or so, NO ONE DRIVES OR OWNS A CAR. We either walk to get what we want, or have it delivered.
