First Night

Here they are, watching the moving truck (a racecar trailer borrowed by their uncle) pulling out of the driveway after the third and final load. "Pulling out" may not be the most accurate term. "Cautiously scraping down the concrete hill" gives a more clear idea of what it was like.


Here they are just before our first night in the new house. It is late. We were all exhausted. We slept on mattresses on the floor.
