For her avocations, Laila Thompson was a quilter and a collector of dolls, boxes, wedgewood, and other antiques. The dolls in this photograph were my favorites. They were located on a shelf above the door of the middle bedroom at the front of the house. When you walked up the stairs you would turn left. The first bedroom was a small bedroom with a twin bed. The second door went to Grammie's bedroom. The door straight ahead went to the bedroom with the old man and old woman. When you pulled the curtains back, you could sit on the edge of the bed and see the entire town.

And I did forget to mention that Laila was a gifted piano player -- attended the Boston Conservatory of Music -- played for the silent films -- and gave beautiful and memorable concerts on both her baby grand piano and organ.
