Every week, Freddie would ask me to empty the pennies from my purse and car so that she could add them to the piles she brought home. And Roger was right, she would be in the living room or kitchen at all hours of the day and night rolling numerous pennies. Everytime I'd go to their house, I'd say hey to her, give her a hug, and smile cause she was helping those kids every chance she got :]Stepheniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875642354191528293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-6968879847677253182009-04-01T11:15:00.000-05:002009-04-01T11:15:00.000-05:00Marjo--I'm glad you liked hearing about it.
