Now that is great! Kudos to her for keeping an open mind and a willingness to learn new things. Especially at her age when so many simply refuse to change. And to pass it on to others too is even better.

Be sure to pass on my high regards to her from this 72 year old and thank her for all she is doing.

Steve, what a nice, encouraging message ! Thank you !
I hope to see you around here more often.

It's good to know that " you can teach an old dog new tricks." I guess there's hope for me yet. :-D

I learned a great deal from my MIL and one of the biggest lessons I learned from her canning was to be willing to change. I still remember when the instructions for added acid in tomatoes was introduced. She was the one who told me.

Your mother is a wise woman and what a compliment to you that she sets so much store on your knowledge.

I believe it's possible to honor the best of the old ways while allowing for new research and updated methods.
