Chapter 1.6: Three Friends
For the first time Mother got a chance to work inside the newspaper, actually she did not particular like the new job, but she made more money.
The old shower was broken and the washing machine extremely noisy, mother came home one day after work, she had visited the building supplier and bought a bathtub and building material enough to make a small extension of the cottage, aiming to “hide” the loud sound from washing machine.
Uncle David of course complained that this was a waste of good drinking water, but never the less he was the first to dip in.
My 4-year birthday was on a Friday, Saturday we all went to the festival site to celebrate it. I got my first Ice cream and had by first encounter with a dog, I loved it! From then on could not talk about anything else – I want a dog.. a dog.. mommy I want a dog.
Uncle Robert met Cheyenne Fox again that day at the festival site - sparkles. Nobody knows exactly what happened between them, mother just note that he came back very late that night.
It was also during these weeks that Uncle David’s garden started to deliver some fruit and vegetables, a much need addition to the family income, things was improving slowly but from want I can read, we very living close to the edge all the time, we need so much stuff that we could not afford.
