Bernie said, “good morning sunshine, breakfast is ready.”
Sadie loved it when he called her that. She said, “sunshine just can not eat another peanut butter and jelly sandwich!”
“Oh! But I have a surprise for you, we have your favorite cereal with cold milk, ” he said.
“But how?” she replied.

Sadie and Bernie fell in love with the area. The view of the bridge and surrounding area was spectacular.
After losing his job with the car manufacturing business, having excessive medical bills, their house foreclosed on and cars repossessed, they moved south.
They lived among the elements outside, worked small jobs and spent as little money as possible.
Now, they had enough money to afford moving into a small rented room. They would continue to seek full-time employment, save their money, and one day have a house and start a family.
