We moved to Lake Cain around 1963. Spent a few happy years there before moving to Tangelo Park. Our Lake Cain home had a bomb shelter in the back yard. It was built during the Kennedy years to hide in if the Castro decided to attack us. This house burnt a few years ago and has been rebuilt. My grandmother died there, suddenly. My mother said she saw her standing downstairs looking out the window just behind my brother, David, standing on the hill with a shovel.
Our home in Brimfield, Ohio. We were living there when Donna was born. Below is our new home on Rogan Road in Orlando. Donna used to sit on the curb in front of the house and wait for hurricanes.
The last doll is my favorite and largest. Her fingers and toes are totally carved and painted. She looks like a real, small child.
Donna has always loved my dolls. I took porcelain classes at Bell's Ceramic Studio in Clermont, Florida and learned to make many dolls. The French dolls were my favorite.
I started a scrapbook for my little sister. She has "memory" issues and I thought she might enjoy looking at the photos and memories every day. This is page one.
