It sounds as if she is still very active. I just had a thought about
something, especially if she thinks things are wasteful. How about an
empty
notebook and pens. Tell her you want it back next year, filled with
recipes, or household hints, from her earlier days. This way, she would
get
something to do for the whole year, and you would be preserving her old
recipes.

I'd love a few suggestions for what to get Gram for kissmoose. She's 92,
and will tell anyone that she doesn't want anything. I used to get her
pink catawba wine (because she would have half a glass with dinner).
When the doc made her stop, I bought her good chocolates. The Doc made
her stop that too, but I think she still needs fattening up. She doesn't
like the "fancy coffees" and rarely bothers making them for herself any
more (although she used to love them). She doesn't do much crafty any
more at all. Last year, she kindly gave mum assignments to pass out to
the grandkids, which we were VERY happy about. I had to give her 4 Get
Well Soon, 4 sympathy, 4 happy birthday cards. She did not want more
than that. And a crossword dictionary. My sis had to get her a new
tablecloth, since Mum was permitted to get her a new kitchen table. If I
make anything for her, she gets mad at me for "bothering." She's also
given back to us most of the pictures of us all that we have given her
over the years, in an effort to simplify everything.

I love my gram. But she hates having a fuss made over her, and I do
understand her perspective- that's why I have tried to give her
comestibles in the past. But there aren't a lot of times where I can do
anything for her, and kissmoose is one of those times.

What do you do for your mum or gram who is like that? And on behalf of
grandkids everywhere if you are like that- we do like the list idea or a
few hints Of course, if you were on this list and my gram, I'd know
what to send you- fabric- regardless of your SABLE status. Too bad Gram
doesn't want to sew any more.
