Yes, she is happy to come get, we live but five or so miles apart.
The delivery expectation was more of a laughter getting joke statement
at my retirement ceremony. Got lots of in-agreement laughter. She
and I are close friends and she contributes cash often. Silly girl
rarely cooks, never for just herself, and infrequently for others
except when the others do most all. At this time she has her loves to
cook son and a friend of his living with her, and she recently cook-
contributed to a meal of theirs with the rfc-smashed pototoes as
contribution. She's also of great use as my "chopper" or for stirring
stove top pots while I prepare other things, and I love the entire
cooking process so we do okay together. I never feel taken advantage
of by her, and I sometimes get a kick out of her beggings or deal
makings for the dishes I've introduced her to that she so enjoys.
