When my grandson came to live with me, I told him he had to keep a
journal instead of paying rent. I was hoping he would learn something.
He did.

Just not enough.

Grandpa picked us up tod
Highlander was so packed you couldn’t see out the back window.

Grandpa lives in the country. The nearest town is Dorset, which has three roads and a gas station
where you can buy beef jerky and a boarded up beauty salon and a bar.

Mom’s going to home school us because there isn’t a church school out here and the public
school doesn’t ru
kitchen table, I guess.

Hannah is a trooper. I caught her crying about leaving her middle school g
made me promise not to say anything to Mom and Dad. I guess I’ll probably miss my friends too.

This is an old picture of the trailer we are living in now. That’s my grandpa’s house behind it.



There are two bedrooms. Mom and dad are in one and Hannah is in one beca
needs her privacy.
Like mom says, it always does. It’s just until she can find another job and Shop-More sucked because

Hannah is a trooper. I caught her crying about leaving her middle school girlfriends but she
made me promise not to say anything to Mom and Dad. I guess I’ll probably miss my friends too.

Like mom says, it always does. It’s just until she can find another job and Shop-More sucked because
of her crazy supervisor. Mom says grace is the teacher. Mom’s big on grace.
