A Return to the Old Country

In 1976, John retired from The Telephone Company, and in 1977 he began building the Barn. We had Christmas at Hawthorne a number of years after that.
When John was building the apartment on top of the barn, we thought we would just use it for vacationing.
I wasn't ready to leave Hawthorne then, but as the time went by, I became more at home here "vacationing" all the time and didn't want to live over there any more.

I don't remember when I stopped working with the four-year-olds at Broadway. I guess it about the time John retired.
