It would be a good idea to go with him occasionally, so you
get the skills to do the family shopping should Alan be ill,
or have to go out of town for an extended business trip.
Trust me on this.

DS almost always does all the shopping for the house, except for most
fabrics. Sometimes he'll even buy a piece or two, if he sees one online
that he thinks will be suitable for the 2-younger nieces.
And if I don't sew it as soon as he thinks I should, he will sew it himself,
provided I've pre-washed & cut it out. Sometimes I give him a few basic
instructions.
This all started about 14-years ago, after the incident that caused my leg
wrist to be crushed. He wanted to give some crib sheets & blankets to
friends who were having their first child. I could neither cut anything or
really sew, so he brought the fabric home and I walked him through the
process. That's when he discovered the enjoyment of sewing.
According to him, it is a relaxing hobby after crunching numbers at work.

LOL, not my left leg; more like the left wrist was crushed and re-built so
it is good as new, except for cramps when it is cold, damp weather.

I admit to being puzzled about where the "leg wrist" might

be. Maybe the ankle? ;->

It was my left wrist that was crushed when I was knocked down by a student
who was only 9-YO, too young to be punished by law, although it was put on
his juvenile record, in case he got into trouble later.
And this was an A-B student until his Dad, a soldier, was sent overseas, and
his Mom got a drug addict boyfriend. The young sister, in 2nd grade, showed
her teacher some money she was carrying for ---; the teacher tood it to hold
till after school, it was close to $500.00. Needless to say, Mom had to
come to school to get it.
I often wonder what happened to those kids? The boy is 23-YO now.
