I found most awesome find when the family didn't want to keep their moms collection of the Ruby Red Avon dishes, Plates, Goblets, Candle holders, napkin rings, dessert dishes, salad bowls and more. I'm thrilled to have gotten these as I've wanted them since early 70s...I sold Avon products when I was 17 yrs old and pregnant...I was very good at what I did in selling Avon products....in fact I earned prizes and awards because I'd sold so much product. I wanted to earn money somehow as I was having to live on my own, fend for self after my folks abandoned, rejected me after our family home was destroyed by the infamous flood, Feb 19, 1969 and my mom blamed ME for the flood as God was angry that I'd had a poster on my bedroom wall....was a Whimsical Flower with word "Groovy" written across the flower. My mom was convinced was Satans words...so I was no longer welcome to live with them and 5 weeks after my 17th birthday, I was told I was NO longer part of the family and got locked out. My folks got a 2 bedroom apartment, for them and my 2 sisters...i wasn't allowed to stay home and my heart was totally shattered and broken as I wandered the streets of Loma Linda with my lifes possessions was just a very worn, wrinkled up paper bag with a few pieces of clothing. I was supposed to get $200 for my clothing, but of course I never got it, except for some underwear, socks and one change clothing and that was it.
People were appalled a the level of betrayal my folks did to me...if it wasn't for them, The Schaefers in Redlands Calif, I would have taken my life...I was beyond devastated, depressed and wanting to die because I was treated so badly. My mom didn't want or need me anymore, she'd graduated from nursing school and they were moving down to San Diego and I was NOT welcome to even know WHERE they were moving or the name of people who were helping them.
Rejection has been the hardest part of my life.
