Living on a Mountain


Bob took a picturesque road along Punchbowl National Cemetery to work at the University of Hawaii in the green Mehari. I worked in Chicago for Pan American Airlines on Michigan Ave when agents did the round the world fares themselves and booked tours and meals on Aeroflot. Sent my checks to Bob to pay for the house and after spot painting our VW bug for sale headed to Hawaii sans job. Not approved for unemployment insurance as I had a husband.
Sulked in my blue cotton prison shirts for a while, painting the inside and outside of the house. Got a job at the Print Maker cutting color designs for silkscreening. Then an art director at Hele Mai a local tee shirt and bathing suit company. Not an easy job since I hadn't learned to draw yet.
