Sentimental Journey
Thirty years ago this month, the Bierce Family moved to "Peachtree", a plot of land that previously belonged to Dad's half-brother Patrick and his family. The town to which it belonged changed in the times since we got there. First it was "El Pico North", allegedly an outskirt of Brooksville. But then the Postal Service decided that Spring Hill was big enough to become a de facto municipality (even if the place didn't formally establish self-governance itself) and Peachtree was counted as Spring Hill some years later.
We arrived from Pennsylvania after two days of driving to an almost completely empty house. Our household items took a few days to catch up with us. So us kids slept on the floor, and danced to a tape of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in the wide-open living room much of the day. It was way too hot outside for us to do much outside. That and the grass was long and we noticed something new: sandspurs. Our habits were going to change...just about ALL of them.
MORE TO COME.
