"When I was growing up, we always had a big family dinner at around noon on Sunday. I still love that whenever it is possible to gather the family together."

My parents would make huge crops of sometimes 55 to 60 bales of cotton. Being from a big family where there were 20 children, it wasn't too hard to pick that much cotton. But my father, year after year, didn't get too much money and I remember he just kept going.
