Big windows overlooking the backyard. Always something delicious smelling either simmering on the stove or baking in the oven. Immaculate. Parkay flooring and orange Formica countertops. On the second level of a 3 level home along with the formal dining room and formal living room. Gosh, sounds lofty and prestigious when I put it in words. Really, it was an average, middle income (from only dad’s wages) home in an ordinary neighborhood.
