was off to the left thru an opening in the wall, no door, & was a long narrow hall with a commode & sink - That was it! We had a bedroom next to the living room that was in front of the kitchen. Small rooms but big enough to get a bed in the bedroom - forget what else if anything - we bought 2nd hand furniture, a studies couch, & Mac made a bench-like piece for my music - really neat! Oh yeah, we had a beautiful dark green velvet chair with 3 legs - we propped it with bricks or books? Then we splurged on an upright piano! $10000!! or close. Turned out to be quite a piano! I think we had it tuned twice in all the twenty years we had it! It kept its relative pitch but really dropped from concert pitch thru the years. The Lord was good to us.
Mac fished, sometimes I would go along & paint. One time he came home soaking wet with fish sticking out of his pants pockets. He'd fallen in. Our mode of travel was either by foot or bike. In the summer I went to western Md. to be a counselor for jr. hi camp & Mac rode me on the handle bars to the bus station. When I got back he had rat poison all over teh place to rid us of unwanted tenants that'd moved in. There was a small stream in the back yard & he figured they'd come along that route.
We acquired a kitten, Moe, that Mac had seen watching him chase the light of a flashlight in circles on the floor. We became counselors of a youth group in a church and when it got close to delivery time they gave us a little baby shower & that very night, early in the wee hours of morning I was awakened - time to go. So Mac called a taxi, I think, & we traveled the two or three blocks to the hospital, and a baby girl was born around 11 am. Oh such joy I felt. The doctor wondered what I'd been drinking. The McCormicks were notorious for having boys so I thought I'd let Mac down with having a girl instead - but he got over it pretty fast.
