Were moving to the city

After about 13 years on the farm it was decided that it was time to move to the city .That would be the official story! UN officially we had been evicted from our farm. First there was the health service who tested our well water and despite there expectation found our water to be the best in the county. Then came the city inspectors who mandated my parents to get rid of all the cars my dad’s friends had dump on our land or they would charge my Dad with operating a salvage yard without a license .My dad found a buyer but we had to burn them before he would take them. It seems they were worth more that way. With the car burning came a 100 acre field fire which brought the fire department. I remember coming home that day seeing the fields were black as coal! Not long after social service came calling once again. It wasn’t there first time but this time they came to inspect our home or to be more specific our living environment. As described earlier our house had no bathroom just and out house , there were rats in the basement, we only had a wood and charcoal heat , no running hot water and an old barn now fully stripped to the foundation and full of years of garbage. My parents never told us but I think that was “case close” for social service. Not long after it was announced that we were moving .I for one was ecstatic that we were moving .It was a new adventure and I liked adventures! I remember the ride to our new home I felt so impatient! We arrived at a house that was higher then our farm house. I remember me and Carole running up the stairs to one level and finding a stair that led to another level where there were two bedrooms, one was larger then the other and my sisters Francine and Danielle got that one. I got the one next to it with a window that would lead onto the roof of the first bedroom level. I often climbed out on that roof for an adventure. There were 3 bedrooms on the first bedroom level. One my parents took, the other was for Carole and Jocelyn and the next for Alain. Boys got there own room for obvious reasons.The bonus was a bathroom with flushing toilets and a large tub with water taps on it! Down stairs was a living room as you walked into the front door to the left which led to a dinning room? As you pass through the dinning room and through a two way door led to a kitchen which led to a small back yard. We even had a basement with an old furnace and no rats! After we were al moved in I spend hours exploring my new neiborhood. Marking out certain buildings as landmarks to find my way back home.
