My First house memory
My very first house memory is at my
grandfather Bing’s house. I have not been there in seven years, so it may have
changed a little bit.
You’re
standing in the enclosed porch looking through the front door. There are always
birds eating the worms from underneath the clothes line. You go to open the
door to walk down the short ramp to go outside, and the door creaks slightly.
The bird flies off into the closest trees. You turn right when you come out of
the porch. You look to the left, and you see the garage. You look to the right
you see down the hill that I learned to ride a bike on. If you look straight,
you can see the small four-wheeler path that goes up to the blueberry field.
The blueberry field is where I shot my first deer.
You start
to walk down the biking hill, and you look to the left you see stalks of
bamboo. You look towards the right and you see old lobster traps made of wood.
You can see the old pig pens. They used to raise they’re own bacon. You look
through the woods and you see a small stream. There are deer up in the woods;
you can find they’re hoof prints in the long dirt road we walk along.
After a few minutes of the sound of mooshing
footsteps below, you can hear many different birds chirping. One sounds just
like a whistling. You look to your left and you see an upside down dingy, on
top of three pieces of plywood. This little building is known as the club house.
The neighbor, about a quarter of a mile down the driveways name is Sven. He is
two years younger then I, but is way more creative. This is how the “Club
house” was made.
You walk a
little bit further, and you see Sven’s house. It is a three bedroom trailer
that dwells four people. Gretta, Hooper, Sven, and the baby live in this house.
Gretta worked at the hospital, Hooper worked in his little shop outside his
house. This is commonly where he would spend his time making knifes. Sven would
only be able to see me when I was there on the weekends.
You look
straight ahead and you see the community building through the trees. There is
always a bunch of cars parked in the parking lot. There used to be a craft fair
every month, baby showers, and lots of other gatherings from all of
Brooksville. Right before you get to the community center there is a house that
is decades old, the shingles are old and tarnished, the shed is merely falling
down. This is known as “The crazy cat lady’s house” I think I am aloud to call
her that, she is my aunt by marriage.
You’re
standing next to the community center, and you see kids running around the
parking lot. They are playing in a general little area because they know if
they go out of sight, they would get hollered at by their parents. I played in
that group for a while. Then I realized I hate people.
You
continue down the road, and you come down to the store I almost died at. This
store is right by the road, and it has the best contents inside. They might be
expensive but that is how a little town like mine makes money. They have always
made the best “ Cinnamon Buns”. I was never aloud to eat them, but they smelled
good.
You
continue down the road and you look out into the deep blue. Nothing but ocean
for miles and miles. You can get lost in the amazing sight. I have a picture of
it on my laptop. All you see is lobster buoys, and seals poking their noggins
out of the water to see the out side world. This is one place I would have
never left behind. Unfortunately, too many memories had to be left behind.
