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.
Mother's Mouth
When Mom and I were walking along the dry riverbed out near the Boy's Camp in the San Gabriel Mountains, a briar caught Mom's stocking and scratched her leg. "Oh, Golly!" she said. That was the only time I ever heard her swear.
