1981

My dada had a area batch connected a subdivision that was astir a mile from Mt. Vernon successful Alexandria, VA. My dada loved trees and our batch was covered up successful trees, particularly Sweet Gum Trees that dropped these nasty difficult balls each twelvemonth long.

Hidden heavy successful nan subdivision is an aged luxury location that is correct connected nan Potomac. If you don't cognize it's there, it's difficult to find nan entranceway to it.

I was an older kid/young teen and had to mow nan lawn, which was fundamentally mowing nan ditches since writer didn't turn successful nan shade. I was mowing nan ditch 1 day, erstwhile abruptly galore (6?) achromatic limos appeared and roared into nan subdivision. (They were each Caddies I think.) Show over, I vanished a walk and turned astir to mow distant from nan corner. When I turned astir to travel back, I noticed that 1 of nan limos had stopped and location were 2 larger men successful achromatic suits pinch sunglasses opinionated astir connected nan corner.

And that's erstwhile I deed a gum ball. The mower deed it, made a large ace sound and sent it disconnected to parts chartless (shockingly not my shins). Both men reached into their jackets and crouched earlier they realized it was conscionable a lawnmowing kid pinch bruised shins.

1981 is erstwhile nan President was changeable successful nan spring. When he was released from nan hospital, he went to an "undisclosed location" to retrieve for respective weeks. I cognize wherever that was.
