Little Cornfields and Railroad Tracks

At some point we moved to a small house in Milpitas not far from the rail road tracks. I was still in diapers and have some old pictures of me in front of the house between Donny and Claudia holding me up. I must confess, I was cute - cherubic even. I was chubby with very blonde, long curls and an impish grin. We lived here for a couple years and I have many memories of this place. While her my Great Grandmother came to live with us for the first time. I am not sure that was a good idea. I do not understand the circumstances but although she was kind to me she was a formidable foe in the three-way yelling matches that ensued between her and my Grandparents. It was not every day but when they started going at it - the volume would raise the roof and the adjectives used would make a sailor blush.

All things considered I liked this house. I had my own bedroom in the back of the house with a door to a fenced in back yard with a small swing set and an enormous slide. The house was small but at least we could each retreat to our own rooms when necessary.
