| Mom, sis and I are visiting my mom's 3 sisters next week - in our little farm town, not far from the city where we live. These three are in age from 60-75. Youngest is a hard worker at the local hospital, lives on the lake. Middle is in very poor health, works as a home-healthcare worker herself. Oldest is lovely, cares about her appearance, but in very poor health, loves to read. I know I can get her a book and she'll be thrilled. Others - I am in a quandry - I see them once a year, but love them all dearly. They are all simple, in a good way and none with a need or want for useless things. Just wanting to come up with a small rememberance for them and could use any ideas you might have ~ |

| both of the other ideas are great.....what about baking each of them a loaf of banana bread, or something like that? and wrapping them up with pretty ribbon (and maybe a few silk flowers). i know many older people still love home-made food but are too tired to make it themselves anymore. |

yes, Time, a most precious gift, will be given...
An apron is also a good thought.
And the meal has crossed my mind, as it is what I do best -
Thank you! |
