I had a busy day yesterday and am quite tired today. Hence I am reviewing my schedule for the weeks ahead. What is making me busy and extra tired?? BIRTHDAYS. In April and May there is an absolute cascade of birthdays to celebrate, starting with my mother’s on April 7th.
On April 7, 1912 my mother was born in the family home on Hennepin Ave in Minneapolis Minnesota. Was the house rented or owned? That is a question I should have asked.

Hi Janet,
It was a little tricky to find because the family name was badly transcribed. But to answer your question, the house was rented according to the 1920 US Census:

It sure was fun celebrating your grandson yesterday. Next, your son, so keep resting 🙂
