MY AUNT MADELINE

I BELIEVE I MAY HAVE MENTIONED MY OLD AUNT MADELINE DOMINGUEZ SHE WAS MARRIED TO A BROTHER OF MY GRANDMOTHER ON MY MOTHER;S SIDE. SHE ALSO WEIGHED ABOUT 400 LBS AND LIVED IN AN OLD GARAGE MADE OVER INTO A VERY SMALL ABODE .
WELL, SHE USED TO LIVE IN A MANSION WHICH WAS NEXT DOOR TO THIS SMALL TINY MINUTE PLACE AND IT HAS RENTALS AND I THINK SHE COLL-E CTED RENT FROM THEM.
I WENT INTO THE MANSION AND LOOKED AROUND ONCE IT WAS A FASCINATING PLACE.
ANYWAY, MY AUNT SEEMED TO BE MY MOTHER'S MENTOR. IN F THIS TEENSY ROOM WHERE SHE LIVED WAS A HUGE BED AND ACROSS FROM THE BED IS A TOILET.
ONCE WHEN MY MOTHER WAS VISITING MY OLD AUNT I WAS IRRITABLE BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE SOMEPLACE ELSE AND WAS CRYING AND COMPLAINING , MY AUNT SUGGESTED TO MY MOTHER THAT I MUST BE CONSTIPATED AND SHE SHOULD TAKE ACTION.

SHE AND MOM DECIDED TO GIVE ME AN ENEMA SO ONE WHOOP WITH THAT THING AND I SAID I WENT I WENT!!

I LIED BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY TRAUMATIC THING FOR ME.
BEING ABOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS OLD IT WAS MY ONLY DEFENSE.

THAT WAS MY LAST EXPERIENCE WITH THAT TOOL.
IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN I HAD MY BABIES I ALWAYS SAID I WENT .


WELL, I NEED NOT COVER THIS SUBJECT ANYMORE, I WAS SHOWING HOW MY MOM AND AUNT WERE THAT CLOSE.

SOME YEARS LATER , MY AUNTS PLACE BURNED DOWN, AND ALL HE INTERESTING THINGS WERE STOLEN FROM THE REMAINS OF THAT SMALL PLACE AND SHE WAS BADLY BURNT AND WA SIN HOSPITAL FOR A LENGTH OF TIME, SO WHEN THEY DISCHARGED HER SHE CAME TO LIVE WITH US.

IT WAS A TERRIBLE TIME FOR US ALL. SHE HAD A VERY BAD ODOR FROM THE HEALING BURNS AND WE CHILDREN WERE NOT TOLERANT OF IT.
EVENTUALLY MY AUNT WENT SOMEWHERE I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE AND I DON'T REMEMBER HER DYING.

BUT I HAD MANY INTERESTING VISITS AT HER HOUSE DURING MY EARLY YEARS. I LIKED TO WATCH HER TEACHING MY MOM TO READ CARDS.
AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF HER MY MOM WAS ABLE TO SUPPORT US WITH THIS SKILL. PEOPLE WOULD COME TOHER FOR A READING MANY TIMES THEY PAID HER 1.00 EACH TIME , AND FOR A LOVE POTION THEY PAID 3.00
I RAN TO TEICHERT'S OUR DIME STORE IN SANTA FE TO BUY EVENING IN PARIS OR ANY PERFUME THAT WAS A DOLLAR A BOTTLE FOR MY MOM TO FILL SMALL BOTTLES WITH TO SELL AS LOVE POTIONS TO HER CUSTOMERS ... AND THEY CAME BACK FOR MORE MANY TIMES SO AT SOME LEVEL THE STUFF WORKED!!!

NOW I HAVE A SISTER BY THE SAME NAME AS MY OLD AUNT, AND SHE ONCE COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT BEING NAMED AFTER A WHORE, HAHAH I WAS NAMED AFTER A SAINT AND MY OTHER SISTER NAMED FOR THE VIRGINS PAIN AT THE LOSS OF HER SON.

ALL CATHOLIC TYPE NAMES.

I WILL NEVER FORGET MY OLD AUNT MADELINE SHE WAS A VERY INTERESTING WOMAN IN MY LIFE.

I ALSO HAD A FRIEND NAMED CARLOS NAUMER AND HIS DAD WAS A FAMED ARTIST NAMED HELMUTH NAUMER. I LOVED CARLOS BECAUSE HE WAS KIND AND SUPPORTIVE TO ME THRU GRADE SCHOOL WHEN I WAS BULLIED BY A BIG KID NAMED ------- FORGOT HIS NAME OH JOHNNY WAS IT.
BIG BRUTE HATEFUL AS THE DAY IS LONG HE PICKED ON QUIET SENSITIVE KIDS ALL THAT TIME . I SPENT AS MANY RECESSES INDOORS AS THEY LET ME.
BUT IN TIME WE WERE SEPARATED BACK INTO SMART KIDS AVERAGE KIDS AND SLOW KIDS JOHNNY WENT INTO THE SLOW KID PLACE. I WENT TO THE SMART KID CLASS WITH CARLOS. CARL0S DIED A FEW YEARS AGO IN SANTA FE . HE WAS A VERY DEAR PERSON I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. HE TOO, WAS AN ARTIST.

WELL, I AM OUT OF MEMORIES FOIR TODAY. WILL DO MORE ANOTHER TIME.
