[Note - a bunch of my friends worked at Saint Cinnamon and let's just say were not the most ethical employees. It was no shock when the business eventually went under. In fact one guy I know that worked there eventually got busted by his folks when they found a huge wad of cash in his room.]

We started studying World War II in History class. I went to the doctor with granny. Parents bought a new house near Clark on Winding Lane.

{Note: This would, as you will probably see, be a terrible mistake that created a lot of heartache and set my parents back financially. Maybe that is why I don't own property and warned people that housing prices don't go up forever ... I lived the experience.}
