Having one bathroom seemed very normal growing up in a home with 3 sisters & our Mother. We took turns in the bathroom taking baths & washing our hair was usually in the kitchen sink. I also didn’t realize at the time how different our family was compared to most families. Losing our Dad at age 41 was very unusual & our Mother worked. Now looking back it’s very normal for lots of families.
That’s exactly how the workshop was at the Ponderosa. I hate to parrot you Lisa, but as an artist it was a huge inspiration for me and at the time I didn’t think it wasn’t the norm. Thinking back I loved how he built things and the laboratory was an incubator for discovery.
I love that story.

I remember getting my hair washed in the kitchen sink too. Maybe that was a carry-over tradition?
