Beautifully worded and this tale engulfed me into days past, working with four children, and always broke. I love art too, and my home is filled with oils and other signed works. Each brings back a memory - both good and bad. Thanks you, Elizabeth

Thank you so much for sharing your personal story, Elizabeth. It's lovely to find a kindred spirit, even it it means you went through tough times yourself. I'll be waiting with baited breath to hear what you think of the next story frame!

Kristin, I can only imagine the heavenly aroma of that restaurant, the authentic food and those meals you had...and hey, that was damn good money then, and now! Enjoyed this Frame, as always. - Jim

Thanks, Jim ~ It's a very special place, in a different location now and even better from what I've heard!

Great example and poignant illustration of doing whatever we can to survive, pay the freight, and continue moving forward. One step at a time, one or more jobs at a time, putting it all together and making it work. Good on you, Kristin!
