Back to thinking about Glendora and how it looked to my parents when they arrived around 1951. A picture of the downtown from a high school reunion website that I used several years ago. A picture of the Pacific Electric station in Glendora circa 1951.
And a picture of me age 2 and my brother age six months on the front lawn of our Glendora house December 1954. For a few years, my parents cut out big cardboard numbers and made holiday cards. One shows me in a rocking chair "On to 54." You can see the cardboard numbers for On to 55 or similar. Notice the sun and the lawn even though it's late in the year.
My mother told a story in this house that, as geraniums were perennials, she wanted to make a sharp flower garden alternating red and white geraniums. "The next year," she said with a laugh, "they all came up pink!"
