Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 What else does Mom like to do? Does she like to play cards? Does she knit, crochet or tat? Does she enjoy jigsaw puzzles? Can you get her engaged in something other than cooking? How about asking her to write out all her special recipes in a notebook for you so that you have them as part of your family history? She would probably be flattered that you want to preserve them. Talk to your mom. She needs to have another outlet for her love and creativity. And you need her to have another outlet for her as well. -- Ann You spend your life fighting dirt, and when you die they bury you in it. hayakawa@...
