Happy Friday

Are you applauding the end of the week?


Suburban Chicago, January 1966. The Lithuanian friends from our suburban enclave have gathered for another celebration in someone's basement. I don't know what has sparked the applause.

My Mom is the first woman in the foreground, on the left, and Mom's friend Donna sits across the table from her. Donna's husband, Vytenis, sits in the second row, on the far left.

I'm thinking that might be the basement of Mr and Mrs Lily. I don't believe they had a formal dining room in the house they lived in before they moved to Winston Park. It was across from Bolger Park, just down the street from your parents' old apartment.

Wherever they are, they all look like they're having a really good time!

It is the "Lily" basement.
