House

"Whose house (besides your own) were you in last and why?"

For a few years, I stayed in my grandmother's house at Campbell street in Kansas City, Missouri. It was down the street from B.B.'S Lawnside Barbecue.
My grandmother let me stay there while she stayed at an assisted living center. It gave me an opportunity to be independent and live on my own.
It was okay for awhile, but then my grandma died and my aunt sold the place, so it was back to living with my parents.
I liked that house. I liked having my dog, Zanie, too. But I couldn't afford the property tax. She had a large side yard and an old stone house which I guess cost a lot.
