“The Last Day of the YEAR – – What can we DO:

Dec 30th “The Last Day of the YEAR – – What can we DO:

“Little Lee… as fast as LIGHTNING – – can we catch up with him?”

“Look Out… here comes “LITTLE LEE” – – and he sure does have something important to do – – or so… it looks like… he would like to help cut the grass!”

Just looking at this PHOTO – – it is hard for me to believe that as little as “LEE, Jr.” is – – he has more strength than I do – – today… to be pulling the lawn-mower – – – – and he is really on the move!

What ever it was – – back then – – Little Lee would pull and take all most all of our working in the yard tools – – it would be one of Lee’s busy duties each day – – to find some kind of a “yard tool” and pull it down the street – – to his friend’s house. “Little Lee” had a friend on the next street down from us – – the first house – – the block was not too long to walk – – as they were always playing together – – and the other boy may have been a year or so older – – than Lee.

There’s nothing like it – – when good ole DADDY gets home from the Restaurant – – and we will have dinner at home – – and then there is some time – – just for “DADDY and SON” – – to have some extra special time together. Even though… we had three restaurants – – each with different menus – – we still had our meals at home with the children. One thing that I always did – – was have extra good meals at home – – even when my MOTHER and or even my MOTHER-in-law – – wound be spending … sometimes months living with us.

Since I did my fair share of working in the “BAKERY” at the Orphanage – – and all day on Saturdays – – just loved working for and with Sister Augustella – – just one of the very best of NUNS – – I was able to get my taste for “good cake” and “cookies” – – and the cleaning up was… of no problem – – since work was offset… with “good eats!”

“Since the year… 2017… is within “hours” of being over” – – have to think of some good cookie recipes to try out – – as they say… what you do on the “first day of the NEW YEAR” – – “you will be doing most of the NEW YEAR!” “Sure hope so!” D.V.
