Lovely Moonlit Nite

Elsie came over tonite + helped me with my sweater.  Doc + Clary came in for tea + then we all went out and went sliding on Shoyin's slide.  Lovely Moonlit nite.  The slide was lots of fun.            - Annette, September 1941

 

Sometimes we need a little time to decompress.  Our lives are serious.  We have important decisions to make.  Annette and Elsie were both mothers, raising their babies in a foreign land, making their own clothes as well as clothes and toys for the kids.  Imagine the simple joy of sneaking out to play on a child's playground.  To unleash your inner child - what a luxury!  And yet, simple pleasures can sometimes keep us sane.
