My dh is really good if I am sewing. I am home alone every day, until 5:00 pm then my dh&ds come home from work. It is my ds who is the pain in the ***. but if I am in to much pain my hubby cooks. we have been married for 27yrs and it has been wonderful. we are both indepenit, but I have to relie on him a lot more right now. you have fun Penny
