Childhood Memories

I am Doris Oden Darrow, born in the late 1920s in a coastal suburb of Los Angeles, California, known as Venice. In the 1980s, my grown children asked me to write down as many memories from my childhood as I could. In 1987 I sat down at our old Royal typewriter and began my first blog. It is reproduced here, as faithfully as possible. The dates are manufactured, as Blogger's tools only allow dates as far back as Jan 1, 1999.

Dishes

My sister Mary always washed the dishes, sister Rachel and I dried them. We used two huge dishpans at the corner of the table, which was covered with an oilcloth table covering. Eventually, the oilcloth would wear thin, so it would have to be turned to the opposite corner.
