The Treehouse in the Garden


Treehouse in the Garden
Memories of summer and tea with Mrs. Mayer, mentor and friend. She was an avid gardener, gourmet cook, reader of novels and books. She created her world and when you stepped into her life you were treated in a special way. Once living five minutes away off a busy street in Hales Corners, she moved to raise goats and chickens in the Michigan country where it was quiet.
She made a lovely place for my daughters and I to visit together.
Mrs. Mayer mentored my oldest daughter into her professional life from the beginning of her leaving me for adulthood. She smoothed the path for both of
us.
This is Mrs. Mayer's treehouse... and her daughter Rachael's.
