A house, remembered



This piece is about the Buckley grandparents' home. It differs considerably from the piece I wrote about the Hadley grandparents' house. It is easy to see the difference in the home's atmosphere through the lens of my childhood memories.

It could be that the main difference is that Pat, John, and Peter were raised in this house, whereas the house where the Grandparents lived was bought after Dave, Barbara, and Gordon had already left home. The stories Pat and Peter told me about their childhood and the strictness or tyranny of their father have also seeped into my memories.
