(Buck Note: all this time I was thinking grandma worked at the library, as she did later in her life but that is not so, she wworked in a nursing home at this time, the Hammond Holiday Home to be exact. Of course, I couldn't resist a little map and directions action. This would be the route taken by Grandma to work and by grandpa to walk with her and to go and pick up her check in order to pay bills. )
