When me and my husband Charles moved in with Mom and set up our computer room, we taught Mom how to use it. Then we had to fight to get her off so we could get on it, :D

Every year, you knew it was the start of summer, when Mom would make her Garbage Potato Salad. She "threw in everything but the kitchen sink", because it was made in the kitchen sink(in her biggest Tupperware bowl) I still remember the year Aunt Kay came early to a BBQ and found Mom making it. She was horrified, until she got close enough to see the bowl. We all had a good laugh at that one.
