My husband was glad I asked him for this help. A friend came early and made the potatoes before others arrived, and the gravy while I visited with other guests. That friend and another guest did a first round of dishes; my husband did most of the rest. Despite this I hurt myself making pie and pulling open large drawers for casserole dishes and such. But without their help a wonderful dinner with friends would not have been possible. Now I need to find someone who can do part of the garden clean-up, so my husband does not hurt himself trying to do my share as well as his. I will be asking for help. The boy next door, whose father died a few years ago, might like to earn a little money since the insurance company will pay a bit for "home maintenance".
