Mamoo: That's right. So tell me what would happen on Saturday mornings. Tell me the whole schedule from the time you woke up and what would happen. Mamoo: Well we'd be all excited. It was Saturday morning. All of us little girls. We had two bedrooms. Alice and I had one bedroom and Arthe and Martha had another bedroom and Nugie was all by himself you see, so we didn't pay much attention to what he was doing. Mama and Papa were up in the front bedroom and Arthe and Martha. So we'd all get excited because we were going over to grandpapa's for breakfast and we'd all get dressed up nicely and simply, but nicely. Who would wake you up? Would your mother wake you up? Alice: Our nurse Marie woke us up, dressed us and made sure that we washed our faces and hands and in cold weather we wore long drawers and we wore some underpants. Marie was a wonderful person. Mamoo: Marvelous. Alice: And she was the one who took care of us. Mamoo: Let me show you her picture. Where did I put that picture Alice? Alice: I don't think it's there. Mamoo: Here it is. There's Marie. That was when she was ninty years old and we had a party for her at Arthe and Willie's house and she was a wonderful LADY. A real lady if there ever was one. And she was with us from the time we were little children you see. She loved us. We were her whole family. Alice: But we loved her. Mamoo: We did. 6
