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.
Ball From China
We always knew when the mailman was coming, because we could see him drive down Alla Road to all the Japanese houses, then come back to Rubens. We waited for him at the curb. One time he handed me a big rubber ball. I just knew it must be from Aunt Esther, because Mom always looked forward eagerly to mail from Aunt Esther in China.
