Favorite Christmas (or other event) Gifts
#11
the best gift I ever got and still cherish to this day was a pack of 3X5 index cards ( fancy cards) written with all her fav recipes and a extra pack of cards for me to write my recipes on. I can just picture her in her recliner night after night with her feet up and lap desk on her lap, writing out all those recipes It is the first thing I would grab if house was on fire, we were friends from the second grade on. we were more than friends she was the sister of my heart, I miss her so much, still talk to her every day. she has been gone for over 12 years, and it still hurts, but I have so many memories, the good bad sad and warm and really funny.

This year i turned 60. My kids gave me a plaque they created with “60 reasons why you are LOVED”. Top half was reasons from my son and his family and bottom was from daughter and her family. Made me cry to read that the grands added things we do at our house ( ride scooters, have fruit snacks etc). THe grands range from 2 - 15 so there are a lot of fun things on the list!!!

I think one of those plastic flip-top pill/medicine boxes /organizers might be a more secure container for her meds. I do not think they are that expensive.

I really miss my moms Fresh Coconut Cake. Dad would always use a hammer and an ice pick. He would knock out the eyes of the coconut and drain the coconut milk for mom to use in the cake. He then would use the hammer to break open the coconut. Mom would then shred the coconut to put on the cake after she had iced it. 1989 was the last time I have had that cake. Sure miss my mom and dad.This is one of my favorite Christmas memories.
