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.
Chris the Rodent
My brothers Paul and Andy caught some tiny field mice and brought them home. Mom let us keep them in a cage on top of the Maytag washer. Andy built an exercize wheel for them, and a little wooden house with steps up to it.
I named my mouse, "Christopher."
