Where We Were

Several years ago, after Mary had moved out of the Front Street house, I went through it before anyone else moved in. I was shocked at how the house had shrunk during those years. Pat, you were right. It seemed to go on forever. I wonder what the siblings remember about that house, and other houses they lived in. People say if you remember the physcial details, other details return to you. What were the magic spots in Granny's house? Do you remember when she had a screened in back porch, partially covered with some plastic that flapped? The back porch was where the ice chests were kept when everybody gathered, and one feat of grimy kids was to sneak on the porch and grab ice from the chest without getting caught. What else was on that porch?
