Family Recipe

A group of adult siblings are painting and redecorating their mom's apartment while she is on vacation. There is good-natured teasing and reminiscing, spurred on by the reading of an old journal kept by their mother. Her writings describe a number of events, both fun and more poignant, which paint a wonderful picture of how families are supposed to work. Even her entry about bringing home a new mattress on top of the old station wagon shows how the fun of family-what "makes life sweet"-is simply to "be together" and "help each other accomplish a task."Topics: FORGING STRONG FAMILIESCharacters: 1 MALE, 4 FEMALESParticipants: 5Author: Donna Lagerquist
