Well as you can see this is not just one event but also several. I will go back though the years as I go along this way you get the whole picture of the who I am. If you are wondering as to what year, this is let me tell you. The events in this tale for the most part are centered in 1985. You see at the time we were living in base housing, which in the nature of things has built in friendships. When people leave the service of their country they have to find new homes. As with all things this is not as easy as it sounds. For there are several factors involved in this alone being a child does count against one in this regard. Alas, that was not the only factor in this move of ours. You see that Mom’s father had called and ask her to find a place that they come and stay as well.

With both of the folk’s working it was us children that got the job of cooking and caring for the house. Now the chores were basic ones. Everyone has them to some degree but we had to them to spec. which was alright. Now with two sisters in the place you would think that all I had to do was take care of the outside stuff. WRONG it seems that my older sister could not cook and the younger one well was a tomboy. Therefore, I was a 7th grade homemaker. Which in a way was good and, in away bad.
