I have written so much about the downside of what I'm experiencing with my Mom that I thought I'd share what has been really nice day. Over the weekend my Mom was talking about how much she misses cooking. My Dad has been doing most of that these days and lately has stocked the freezer with frozen dinners which she is getting sick of. So I had her come to my house for an afternoon of cooking. We made a cassarole, carrots and cookies. She was more like her old self than she has been in months. I will make a cooking day for us at least once a week from now on. She feels like she is helping and also contribuiting to her own household. Don't know how long this will last but for now it is really nice to have one good day
