Keeping Busy

I am having a really hard time keeping Bob busy. He is no longer interested in his woodworking or leatherwork. Although I think he wants to, but just cant seem to figure out how he did things and that just frustrates him. You know a  man is desperate for something to do, when he asks if he can help you with the housework. He was having a pretty good  day  so I said sure-- You want to vacuum ? He said I think I'll go out and blow the leaves off the deck.
 ( Guess that's kind of like vacuuming. )
I now understand why Newberry's little cafeteria was always full of senior men in the morning's.. They are hiding while the wives clean the house. :)
