California

We took the very long trip to California and lived in Inglewood for a couple of months with some friends. Then Ma and Wayne found a 2 bedroom house in Lawndale so we all moved into it for a couple of years. Dale started school there and after school he and I would feed the chickens and geese (easter chicks) then mother raised them for eggs as well as sold them to others. We also had rabbits there. Dale was always helping Da make something in the back yard. I remember the time he hit his thumb an thought he was going to loose the thumb. None of us had our own room there. Wayne, Bruce and I slept in one room and Ma, Da and Dale slept in the other room, but it was a home. Wayne worked on his cars there and Dale and I would help him when he needed something handed to him.
