The move

Our neighbors must have thought we were the Beverly Hillbillies, but man I thought we were up town. There wasn't but eight of us living there to start with because Bud had already joined the Army. It had a living room a kitchen a small bath room with a shower and two bedrooms, kinda small for the eight of us but it served the purpose at the time. The lot was about 50 ft. wide and 75 ft. deep. The street was still dirt, I don't think we cared because we had never seen anything paved but a highway. It had a paved walk going to the street and hedges in the front. It had a kerosene heater in the hall with a 55 gal drum sitting out back on some concrete blocks. I don't think we could ever afford to fill it up but I sure do remember walking down to Cherry's store and getting 5 gals later on in life. Oh yes, it had a little building in the back yard, maybe an 8x10, but it didn't last long. I'll get to that later. All in all I think this was the best move Mama and Daddy ever made because we moved yearly in the country. I was a happy little boy, had all this and ever had Sis living back with us again. Not bad for a six year old.
