Family portraits taken at my grandparents' apartment building. |
After my dad died, my grandparents moved from Bloomfield, New Jersey, where they had lived forever, to St Johnsbury, Vermont, to be closer to us. They moved into a townhouse apartment in a small, four-unit building. Their landlady was Mrs Cox, a widow.
My grandparents' neighbors included the Millers, who had a very sweet dog that I loved to visit.

We often visited on Sundays, still dressed up from attending Mass; and usually used the occasion to take family photos.

The neighbors across the street, the Twombleys, had a double lot; the lot next to their house was used as a giant garden of which they were very proud.
