I lent him mine and he used it at most family gathering. Recently he moved provinces and is living with my sister. For Easter, he told me he made a jello dish. I felt so happy about that.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501259287565067209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-32688024194117444582013-04-08T19:48:20.489-05:002013-04-08T19:48:20.489-05:00What a great post (and didn't you love that bo...What a great post (and didn't you love that book?).

For better or worse, we don't need to create challenges - we have had plenty of natural ones in our family (mostly severe health problems), but the author is right - those challenges have definitely brought us all closer together. Fortunately, our two boys are just 3 1/2 years apart and have always been best friends, even now that the oldest is in college. The age difference does make a difference - my sister and I were 6 years apart and didn't have much in common (still don't), so it is great that you are encouraging them to do something together!<br /><br />Sue<br /><br /><a href="http://bookbybook.blogspot.com/%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Book By Book</a>Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-80591645808587279052013-04-07T10:26:12.876-05:002013-04-07T10:26:12.876-05:00How wonderful!

I think one of the reasons I love cooking so much is that it does bring people together and it's such a satisfying thing for kids of all ages to see their families enjoy the fruits of their labors.
