Our first apartment, August, 1957


106 South Gilbert St. in Iowa City is the address of our first apartment.  Hayne and I were brought to Iowa City by his parents and he refused to carry me over the threshold.  There is a circle drawn in ink on our front door.  It was a tiny place.  The bed would only go one way in the bedroom.  I remember making a bedspread and curtains out of printed blue and white checked fabric. I made it by hand because we didn't have a sewing machine.

below is a picture of my good-looking husband at Easter of 1958.
