On a recent trip to Brattleboro to meet up with family, Sheila talked about growing up in Manhattan with her grandmother, when marketing meant politely cajoling a turnip or carrot from the grocer to make soup. Sheila later had a cooking school and an art gallery, and once substituted for Julia Child on TV. She is also the author of this delightful cookbook.

"Amy has been working with my mother for close to a year and she has been tremendously helpful to both of us. She is able and willing to do just about anything for my mother. Grocery shopping, trips to the doctor, laundry, picking up prescriptions and even picking up sushi for lunch! I know that on a few occasions she has taken my mom out to lunch as well. My mother enjoys talking with Amy and always looks forward to her time with her...

We work on a very flexible basis. When I'm in town I tend to take over and this seem to be fine with Amy. We handle most of the scheduling through text messaging which is so convenient.

We were lucky to find her!

Betsy Harbur"

Thank you, Betsy. It is a joy to spend time with you and your mother.

When Sheila needed a ride to Rutland, we were happy to be of service. A graduate of Parsons School of Design, Sheila is a portraitist of animals and children, has raised and trained therapy dogs, participated in programs for children with special needs, and has always enjoyed photography. She believes an active life with her children, her love of animals (including horses,) practicing creative arts, and being involved in community has given her life fulfillment.

hush
I am the sweet uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight..." - Mary Elizabeth Frye

When my mother was asked what she would like for her 97th birthday, her response was: A Frenchman. :-)
