Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When Lew, Marc, and I lived with Lew's mother and father, we would often find Louise making Hermits on Saturday afternoons. She always enjoyed mixing up a few cookies which was her second favorite household duty. Her first housekeeping joy was ironing. She ironed everything and I mean EVERYTHING!!
