My mother in law's stories. She keeps repeating these stories over and over but we've all heard them a dozen times before and then when we say, "oh, we've heard this one" she takes it as encouragement to keep going
My grandmother is like this. Then occasionally she tells some new story and we are all like, this is way more interesting why hasn't this been part of your repertoire for the past decade?
Cherish even the repeat stories, she won't be around forever.
Also consider recording as many as you can. I regret not doing so.
Some recording programs can do transcripts as well. They're not perfect, you have to tidy them up, but it is nice to not need to go back and do the transcribing manually.
