My bedroom I grew up in...........

ruthbru

When I was a little girl, my sister and I shared a room (up the stairs and to the right). One window overlooked the backyard and my dad's big garden, the other overlooked our elderly neighbor's house and if you looked down the street you could see the street light, where on summer evenings 'big kids' would gather on their bikes and visit and flirt with each other. The other neat thing about the room was there was a little door that led to a crawl space under the eaves. We put a crib mattress and lamp in there and, on rainy days, I would read and daydream in that cozy space.
