Good evening
These are all wonderful memories. I love vegetable soup. Owning a business is tedious, and not always lucrative. It's great that your family held it together. Thank you for sharing.

Hard work for sure! My sis and I were wait staff in high school. My sis loved waitressing because of the cash tips. My daughter and grandsons all worked in food service at one time or another. It was different though for you because when you own the shops it must be so much more demanding,. And with children, really hard. So glad you found nursing. God bless our nurses as well.

I loved working behind the counter at the soda fountain/cafe when I was 16, but I can see how it would be too much and not satisfying in your situation - you were born to be a nurse. Hard work, tough challenges in that job, but so worth it if it's where your heart is.

That does sound like some hard work there. Very strenuous it was.
