Thanks to the kids who took the
time to write and tell us why you
like your mom. Some even sent in
recipes, which weren’t required
for “Kid’s Komer,” but make us a
bit hungry reading about it Maybe
your mom will like to try some of
these recipes.
Dear Kids’ Komer,
Hi. My name is Michelle
Hodecker. My mom’s name is
Shirley. She is 35 years old. She
works very hard during the day. I
like her very much. The reason I
like her is because she is very nice
to me. She takes care of me and my
two sisters and one brother. She
also helps my dad on the farm. No
matter how tired she is, she always
finds time to tuck me in at night
We live on a 160-acre farm in Pen
nsylvania, and we feed 130 head of
heifers.
