For many years (18 or so) before she was a teacher, Elaine ran a day care business out of the house. She thought it to be the best way to stay home with the kids and have a job, too. It got to be a pretty big business.
One year one of the mothers of one of the children Elaine cared for presenterd her with this gift for Christmas. It was a favorite gift for Elaine.
Since that time Elaine receives one of these pieces every year for Christmas from Callie (youngest daughter). She has ten of them.
