The most interesting of these was designing and producing papier mache clothes for six-foot tall pre-formed papier mache bunnies. Display work was very seasonal, however, so I felt that I would be better off with steadier employment. I became a bookkeeper instead, as I had taken a commercial course in high school, and eventually became office manager. After I married, Julius and I moved to Long Island, where we lived for twenty-two years. After my mother passed away, we moved to Florida, along with my Dad, so that we could be close to my sister in Tamarac. We relocated to Key Largo after both of them passed away. We continued to live there for nearly twenty years, until my husband died and I moved to Century Village, here in Pembroke Pines. This is a very nice retirement community and I enjoy being here. I have a splendid view from my fourth floor condo, overlooking the golf course with its lakes and the many birds that live there. I keep very busy, making friends, attending classes, and being a member of the Camera Club. Another plus is living so close to Julius’s sister, Dorothy. Once a week I volunteer at Adopt-A-Stray. I take care of the cats and welcome visitors who are interested in adoption and give them an opportunity to react with the cats. (See picture) My previous writing experiences consist of “ Letters to the Editor” and my monthly contributions to “The Coopa Guardian”, our Century Village paper.ver menos
