Thankfully, grocery shopping and cooking are tasks that Colette easily and capably handled. (Ladies, I’m telling you — teach your daughters to cook so they can be a blessing to others!) From my reclining position on the couch, I was at least capable of planning menus. Knowing that Colette was doing a lot, I planned very simple menus for the last two weeks, so as not to overburden her. Even if I had had to cook them myself, these would have been easy and quick to pull together. While they're not as healthy and rely more on convenience foods than is typical of how we eat, some times are just like that. So, while I hope good health continually for you, I present to you some quick and easy menu ideas should you find yourself under the weather for a period of time.
- frozen pizza with a green salad
- poorboy sandwiches with frozen french fries (baked)
- canned chicken noodle soup with crackers
- scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit
- stuffed potatoes with a green salad
- sub sandwiches with potato chips
- spaghetti with a green salad
- pancakes or waffles with bacon
- chef salads with a baguette
- chicken quesadillas with green salads
So sorry to hear that it is illness and not busyness that has caused your blog to be quiet! I pray that your days are restful and restorative. And, yes, it is a good thing to have daughters and sons who are capable of keeping the house running when the home manager is down!

Thank you so much, Cheryl! Each day I feel just a wee bit better, so hopefully the end is in sight!

Thank you, Deb! Yes, traveling would be infinitely preferable to prolonged time lounging on the couch! But every day, I'm getting just a bit better, and for that I am thankful.
