Me on Christmas Morning 1968 in West Allis, Wisconsin
Shortly after this picture was taken Tom and I moved to Shorewood, Wisconsin. We found a "flat" close to the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and not far from Lake Michigan. Tom had been laid off from Allis Chalmers where he worked as a Chemical Technician just before Christmas and decided to go back to school to earn a degree in Theater. I was working in the recreation department of a nursing home.
My sister Ruth had moved out from Idaho and was living with us . She had a job working as a secretary at a t.v. station and also did some modeling.
It was Easter and I was in the baking, plus Good Neighbor, mode. I made, for the first time ever, Hot Cross Buns. Wonderful yeast rolls with a cross of frosting on the top.
I took a pan down to our neighbors and knocked on the door. No one came to the door so I left them outside the door on the porch. The buns stayed and stayed there. No one took them in.
It was later I found that our neighbors were Jewish and that hot cross buns were NOT something they wished to have.
A learning experience.
So - enough Easter Stories for one day I am thinking - I need to go walk my dog! Karen
