She was feisty and a hard worker. While married to her first husband an alcoholic, she had to clean offices to help support the family. One she cleaned was a doctor's office and when I went in to say hello to her she let me look through the doc's microscope. What a thrill for a little girl. Simple moments in life add to the richness of our memory.Folkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-47291201532070142492010-12-14T19:18:44.134-05:002010-12-14T19:18:44.134-05:00Such architecture.
