Mom stayed home to make sure we were all well taken care of baking pies, cooking meals, leading brownies and girl scouts troops and delivering sack lunches to dad at the construction sites. Later in life as the nest emptied mom worked at Montgomery wards in Ventura, CA and Spokane, WA, Carters Children's wear at the Factory outlets in Post Falls and finally retired in 2005 from Harper’s (Flexell) in Post Falls, ID.
