Dinner is almost ready, and here comes CeCe for what I know will be her junk food snack binge right before I have dinner ready. She will go nearly all day with very little nourishment, and just when dinner is close to ready, CeCe will come in and open five or six things and start […]
My younger sister Mitzi (Mom and Pop Joe’s favorite child) has provided us lots of joy, love, and LAUGHS over the years (you may remember her new mixer last year). Now I will be the first to admit that after raising me and Mike, I completely understand why a sweet, caring daughter might be the […]
