Hi, Ron -- my daughter Andrea would give her soul for macadamia nuts in any guise -- I can barely taste them, so it is hard to know why all the excitement. I usually send her some Scottish short bread cookies with macadamia nuts inside at Christmas. Never see them the rest of the year, do you? Jimmie has been on Home Therapy for 3 weeks, and will start the HARD PUSH therapy on Sept. 5th, at which time the neck brace may or may not be allowed off ... He is now walking inside the house without a cane, but not outdoors. Is also feeding himself, if a bit ungraciously. And sometimes he walks right up or down 3 steps, while other times he gets rubber knees and needs to be held up. The doctor says wait until a year has gone by and then we will see how much he has come along. He still has round-the-clock aides. That is very good and very bad, for he is spoiled rotten! No garden at all this summer. There are some volunteer tomato plants out there, with no artificial watering or care, which yesterday yielded us 5 lovely cherry tomatoes, 2 of which were of the orange variety.
