The Most Creative Job in the World - Homemaker

When I married in 1982, an article was published in the Wall Street Journal by United Technologies Corporation, Hartford Connecticut, 06101. The message will encourage many Mothers' hearts!
It involves

Anyone who can handle those
has to be somebody
SPECIAL!
She is.
She is a homemaker.

I framed the article and review the many "hats" worn by women! Now, we may add Technology expert! Never give up, ladies! Be encouraged!
