Even though Ira & I had similar backgrounds our personalities were distinctly different. I was more extraverted, more adventurous, and had traveled much more than Ira. I loved the arts, especially theatre,music and the movies. I was much more romantic,especially in my thoughts and really looking forward to my role as housewife and mother,with all the trappings( a home, a car, a fireplace, children and a dog) In no special order! Sort of Ozzie & Harriet in living color! At least, that's what I thought I wanted.
