Ellettsville, IndianaEarl moved his beauty shop to Bloomington Indiana because he had more customers there [in the large college town]. As usual, he was ready to move again. He didn’t like to live in one place long. We found a lovely house with a garage in Ellettsville Indiana, only 6 miles from his shop. [I was finishing my Masters in Terre Haute, and came over on weekends whenever I wasn't out cave exploring.] |

Finally we had a house big enough to be very comfortable.
It was made of stone, on a hill high above the street.
It had a large basement where I could do my art work.
There was a lovely large lawn in the front and in the back, up to the alley.
There was a lovely little pool in one corner in the back yard.
There was parking space [for our 3 cars] in the back, and a driveway to the garage.
[Mom and I actually got up on the roof and worked on it once.
They also hired a guy at the dump to come out and renovate the back porch.
He did a poor job, my parents thought.] [The Brown County artists came over for parties, so Mom & Dad kept in touch with their friends.] |

I had a section of the back yard plowed, and put in a large garden.
I loved it, but in 3 years Earl was discontented again, and was drinking heavily.
[They were also again talking about moving out into the country, to a farm. This is
one of the few things my church preaches that I didn't accept, but they did.
Mean- while, I finished my Masters in geology, and was getting ready to start on one
in Computer Science at Indiana University in Bloom- ington.
I was invited to move |
