Loved her chicken, meatloaf, salmon patties! She sang all the time (mostly hymns or little songs she learned as a child), taught me to sew on the treadle machine (and let me spin the wheel, too!) My 'mother-lode' is also my husband and I simply adore his mom!) Changing a recipe? Absolutely!

Our amish neighbors across the street always sing (the girls). When they are hanging clothes on the line, gathering firewood, weeding - sometimes I think they start singing because they see me working outside. I enjoy it.
