Tender at the Bone (43 page)

To my distress I could not find a single photograph of either Alice or Mrs. Peavey. What I did turn up is this wonderful woodblock print that Hortense Ansorge, Dad’s first wife, made of Alice sometime during the forties.

Hortense herself, holding a portfolio.

Scenes from Maison Heureuse: my “equipe” (Nikili, the terror, is center front).

Danielle on the beach.

Counselors having a drink in the café at Boyardville (I’m in the back, wearing sunglasses because I thought they made me look mysterious).

This is the only photo I have from the trip that Serafina and I took to North Africa. The handsome man on the left is Dris. On the back it says, “This is a photo that we took together in the street. It was a surprise photo. A little souvenir from Dris. Love.”

Doug and me flanking Aunt Birdie at our wedding. Pat made my dress: It had a rainbow skirt and a cummerbund with a road running right up the middle, symbolizing Route 7, the road on which we were married.

The wedding, on the road.

Wedding, surrounded by my parents and various friends.
