I come from a large Italian-American family and was the first of many grandchildren. Whenever the family got together, there was a lot of delicious food, laughter and of course many children running around.
It was my job to keep the younger ones quiet and amused. I would gather my sisters, brothers, and cousins around and tell them stories.
Today I continue to make up and tell stories, but now I am telling them to my own grandchildren.
