Since my Father had no brothers
or sisters. as the only grand

Sometimes he would bring so
many items that my Grandmother
would complain. but she would
take me downtown and try to
exceed his total.
On Shriver I had a house

Their new home was a large
house on q high hill on Wheeler

were surrounded by variety of
trees and shrubs. 1t was one
of the most beautiful streets I

in a pile on the floor. Shoes
she doesn't wear are in la

most often are in a shoe bag

how you lived without a shoe
bag all this time.
You'll Need: A firm fabric;

To Make:
l. Cut one piece SO inches
long and 10 inches wide, for

three strips 40 inches wide
and 10 inches deep for the

2. Bind the top edges of

Spouse from her work COM
pletely in accord with the
