A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Dawn gets Dressed Up. ALL DRESSED UP. Everything at home was in its place and well-taken care. The lady of the house had served dinner. Her pots and pans, dishes, utensils, glassware, and silverware had a place to rest. It was now time for Mom to sit down, relax and forget about housekeeping. I imagine her opening the last drawer before she headed for the living room and pulling a doll crochet dress to fancy up her DAWN sitting on the window sill. This reminded her that there would be no more kitchen chores until the next meal.

Condition

Good; some light discoloration
