wow, how many breaths do i have?
i was born on the centennial hill with a view overlooking the high school, the river, the marsh and onwards to the west gloucester hills.
mumu's house. she had the upstairs. various assortments of aunts, uncles, cousins lived downstairs. the front room was only used on the holidays. all other times sheets covered the furniture. the living happened in the kitchen and the dining room. flush toilet. bathing facilities: a round tub on the floor in front of the stove.
