What happens when the banana splits?

I scream!  (Ice cream!)

This was Joel's joke today that my parents were eager to share with us when handing him off to us.  It's been great fun to have the joint project of doing Joel caregiving that we now share. There's the fun things like this to share with each other, and there's the all getting to scratch our heads over an issue when we find ourselves running up against the same Joel issues.

A gift to help me with something I struggle with

Joel gave me a Mother's Day gift that I was particularly touched by. I was telling him recently about how I don't have space in the house for all the stuff I'm keeping. I told him in particular I have lots of notes that I've taken. So, when he was up at my parents' house he made me something to hold my notes in, and he told me that I can get the notes to take up less space if I fold the note holder up. Then they can fit in a very small place!
