My mother was into quilting. Thinking back, (just now) I guess it was her Mother-in-law (that same Grandmother of mine) who taight her “quilting”! I reckon she learned a lot from her Amish neighbors growing up in that small Ohio town. I remember that my Grandmother would sometime refer to people as “those English.” ...LOL ... and I would always laugh. My Grandfather was a barber, and they lived on Coronado, CA and when the Prince f Wales visited, he was summoned to cut his hair, I have his shaving cup and brush. I supposed it still contains his DNA. It’s very fancy and on the bottom it bears the gold seal of the Royal Palace or whatever it’s called along with the maker of the china.
I had an aunt who live in Coronado all her married life (except for time spent in Hawaii at the beginning of WWII.) Her husband was an Annapolis grad who died flying his plane over China. She taught school (music) in Coronado with her 2nd husband. They had an unusual house (for the time) with a living room where one wall was a giant, salt water, fish tank. It was built in the old Spanish sstyle, around an open to the sky courtyard, or patio. Her first husband’s brother was an architect and had designed the house.
