My mom had a lovely cedar file card box that was chock full of her recipes.
When she passed away, the box passed to me. Luckily, I decided to scan all
the recipes for ease of use on the PC. Last year my partner inadvertantly
threw the whole thing out with the trash. I miss that box, even though I
have the recipes.
