Ma and Pa Lumbo were teenagers with little money when they were married. they searched for new housing that was afordable. in the middle of orange fields, near a large and dusty construction site, they bought my childhood home for $8,000. soon, the frontyard was landscaped with the north berm. a few years later, i was old enough to discover my very own playground (that i continue to share with many others).
did i ever take being next door for granted?
never!
