My First House
This is the house where family life as I knew it began, in the Evergreen Valley subdivision of Flint, Michigan.
It was in this driveway where I triumphantly took that first ride on a bicycle after Dad removed the training wheels. (I didn't want to come inside and eat dinner afterwards.)
My neighbors, Stacie and Chris Kemp and my older brother and me used to play in our adjoining driveways.
Grandpa had given us an old tractor tire from the farm to use as a sandbox in the backyard - that tractor tire is still the coolest sandbox I have ever seen or played in. Nothing made by Lil' Tikes even comes close.
We had a playroom in the basement with blue / green-flecked shag carpeting where I remember my older brother had his HO-scale train set up.
Oh Dear.
Best viewed large to gain a better insight into the full horrors. A picture showing a small portion of a ten year old Mercedes with Autobus Nouvelle coachwork. We were aware of some substantial rot, but not quite prepared for what we found after the panels virtually removed themselves. Following a needle gunning to remove shale, the situation deteriorated from even this! Today, a substantial amount of new metal has been tacked in. Practically the only thing between the passengers' luggage in the boot and the back axle was the glued in carpet.
Maybe there was something to be said for the old style CoF system ;-)
