Different friends, who my dad knew from work, asked if hed take their large dogs who couldnt run free in the city.

Wed take turns once every 10 years a child would have his/ her own party! We thought we were rich. My mother was always singing, yelling hugging, or praying. And she told us we were blessed with plenty! To this day, each of my brothers and sisters remember those years as an abundance of chores, laughter, arguing, making peace, and playing together!
