Audrey: I had two black cases to put things in. The smaller pieces went in the smaller case and I slipped both cases under my bed. The big papers that couldn’t be folded were put in the larger black case. The painted fruit on the oil canvas, we hung up.
Audrey: I went (both ways) on the train. We would get off the train and walk to school. We would cross over the bridge that was right before the School of Design. We went to the edge and there was a door there to go in the School of Design. On my way home to the train, I would buy an apple for five cents from a handsome young man standing there selling apples.
I’ll never forget the time, Maisie and I walked home from the School of Design. We did it! We went along. We tried it!
Audrey: When I was 10 years old, I belonged to the Anthony Library Association. We had an old fashioned desk with an opening down (pull down) desktop and the bottom of the desk had books. Mother (Mary Jane Vaughn Spencer) was a great reader. She would sit in the rocking chair by the window and see who was coming in the back of the house. She had geraniums on the windowsill in back of the washing machine and they looked so beautiful. She would have my father’s supper ready and (she would) jump up when she saw him coming home.
Before bed, we would all have crackers and milk. Still that’s all I eat (crackers and milk) and I dip a spoon in the jelly.
Audrey: The trolley train went by the front yard (at 742 Washington Street). You could not park a car there because of the trolley. Two houses down was the stop for the Trolley. The trolley went from Knotty Oak to Arctic and turned around and came back. Maisie, I and her mother went to Rocky Point on the trolley car. The side was opened in summer. The gate was closed so the people would not fall out. My mother did not care much for walking around.
