Now you just brought a name that was rattling around in my head  to the fore   but could not remember .. they used to stay up the road from us  corner house .. one sister Janine .. cant remeber the other sister but they both worked for my Mum at one stage in the old hardware section late 60's ..  the one sister the  one day got blasted  by a spray can  of paint .. sometimes when customers cmae back complaining that  it would not spray  .. Mom had devised rescue mission ..  remove nozzle .. soak tip  and nozzle in thinners  and then use a needle   to  pry out any clogging .. said sister did the whole act one day for an irate customer , but made the mistake of pushing the needle too far .. whoosh ! valve ruptured and face and hair  coated with Dulac spray ... not a nice sight .. never mind the painfull task of cleaning face and hair ..

Cousins  ??  remeber the surname  thats what promted the memory recall .. just  remembered their house at the end of the one block on 2nd ave .. huge hedges  .. .. Janine was the smaller more attractive girl and Mickey was the bigger one ..

I also remember that her Mom used to have fruit trees and bottled her own guavas, peaches and pears ( they were gooood)
Micky usually had short hair, was the older one and Janine long hair, weve been friends since I was 15/16  so that 42/43 years.
