Why yes.  He adult son lived there with her and he primarily took care of 
the house and yard, etc. as she was getting quite on in years.  He was 
rather hermity but when he walked out and saw the rosemary suddenly dying, 
he came around the corner and asked me to come look.  I took some of the 
last home and it tasted awful.  I never heard that saying.
