After your mom and me got married we lived with mom's mom for a short time in a house on Avenue A. We stayed up in the second floor and we didn't have much furniture at all. In fact, I think we were using some lawn furniture for chairs. Anyway, Jimmy couldn't have been more than two or three, he probably was two because I remember we borrowed your grandma's rocking chair so Donna could rock the baby (Curtis).

I spent a lot of nights sleeping at my grandparents house. One night, I was getting ready for bed after making myself a sandwich. Back then, we didn't have our bread sliced and so I used a butcher knife and sliced the bread before making myself a thick peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a full glass of chocolate milk.

We had the best time playing in the cemetery not too far from our house. It was actually very safe to play. You could run around without having to worry about getting out of the way of cars, like we did when we played in the street.

One day when we were coming home from school, we came across some kids playing in front of their house. Well like all kids would we stopped to say hi and pretty soon they asked us to come inside. So, we did of course and we went up to one of the sons' room. There were three kids that lived there. We had a great time and pretty soon it was getting dark.

Here is a story about one of my Cassidy relatives in Kentucky a 150 years ago or so. You have to read this with an Irish accent:
Seems like Mr. Cassidy was just a "wee little" man. One day 2 Indians came and attacked his house. He put up a terrible fight. He swung at them with all his might. I guess this little man must have looked pretty funny to those Indians because all of a sudden they started laughing. Well, they laughed and they laughed and they laughed so hard they couldn't fight anymore and so they let him go.
Not all that great a story, but it's true.
