It's another snow day- the second one in two weeks. I'm glad for the time off, since I've been ill. Sure makes for a long school year, though. Think I'll spend the time with another blog post:
When Mae was sick, her parents used to make her take bitter medicine. "I had hives and had to eat sulphur and molasses (ugh) as a tonic. Perhaps this experience made her want to become a nurse when she grew up. She graduated from high school at 17, however, and the age to become a nurse was 18. "I started working and the money looked pretty good- $65 a month to start at a pickling plant in the office."
One of the first things Mae remembers buying on her own was a pair of shoes, but the most exciting present she ever received was a white gold wristwatch with her initials (MVC) on back. "It was beautiful. It was for my High School graduation, and I still have it."
