Listen to Dad's stories before he loses his hearing

I still call my dad most every morning. While I’m driving to work, he’s slowly but surely making his way to breakfast in the retirement facility where my parents now live.

I sometimes have difficulty communicating on the phone with Dad since his hearing is not what it used to be. (Dad just turned 89.) So, I was encouraged when Dad told me he was getting new hearing aids. I thought that would make our conversations easier.

“I just got my new hearing aids,” he proudly announced one morning not long ago.

Dash of Class: Enjoy strawberry season

Strawberry season is upon us.

I am sharing two recipes from my own collection and my mom’s recipe for strawberry pie. It is the type pie that you find in restaurant chains. I also love my mom’s strawberry cake.

Plus, you can enjoy that flavor all year long by preserving strawberries. I remember my mom making strawberry jam, cooking and cooking over the hot stove. Many people say the taste is different from the so-quick freezer jam recipe, which has a fresh-from-the-garden taste. I am sharing the recipe again.
