Sometimes I think of how much I love my children and how innocent and helpless they can be. They are totally trusting my husband and me to teach them how to live in life. Most children are so innocent and at the mercy of their parents. God put it in them to admire their parents in the biggest way.

Our 6am workday had begun on the assembly line. Julie, who just turned 22, would be working next to me for the next hour.

Danny bought a turkey for our last Sunday dinner. About half of the meat was left over so I decided to make some turkey salad for my lunch. I got the idea from my youngest sister Deena when were at Mom’s for Thanksgiving.
