[quote=Anonymous]I'm in your boat, OP. I do twice daily check-ins with my folks and a great-aunt. I love the suggestion you got above about the puzzle. Mine is a little different. Ask your mom questions about her childhood to get her to talk about something else. I make up reasons to ask questions all the time. "I got an email today from someone named Marty and it reminded me of Uncle Marty. How did he get his name? No one else in the family is named Marty." "Easter is coming up. Remember the time when we were kids and you made the lamb cake? How did you do that?" "My dishwasher is abut to conk out. It is my lifeline. How did you raise a family without a dishwasher?"[/quote]
