The day you step out into this world or should I say kick and scream your way into it is when you finally start on a road to a life of choices. whether good or bad you’re in the “game”of life until the day you lay your back in that nice mahogany coffin so until then dealing with those choices is your focus. My family seemed to have the perfect life my grandpa had the perfect game plan he sold raincoats in one of the rainiest cities Seattle he only sold about 100 in the first year which barely paid for his house let alone a new wife so when a leasing building in the center of town opened he decided to buy it with all of his life’s savings and after 1 month of business he finally sold 2,000 raincoats and he earned his money soon his small raincoat business was a booming rainy day hangout spot umbrellas, raincoats ,books ,coffee and treats for the road were all in the store and he made about a 250,000 dollars in the first year and then he had my Mom Anna Roberts and she grew up rich she was the all American sweet heart and she was loved by everyone she had the nicest dresses and the coolest clothes and the best shoes and the best guy Joseph Edwards the most promising Lawyer in all of Seattle and when they got married in 1919 my dad was pretty determined to be a lawyer. then lifes choices popped up in the form of a poster he found a place where wolves roamed and berries and wheat grew wild and then he decided his dream should be put into action the day my mom told him she was pregnant with me was the day he gave up his dream as a lawyer and put his focus somewhere else she was pretty sad when she had to move to the dry panhandle but when my mom met some girls from Boston at the local town market and they helped her paint that shabby 3 bedroom shack blue with metal shutters and thick glass window panes with a built in ice chest yah it wasn’t perfect but it was something and on the day of February 16th,1921 I was born and it was magic my dad decided to name me Elizabeth Camilla Edwards it was my birth right it was my calling it was a name ….!! The day I was born was the day my Mom went into major excitement she went back to Seattle to visit my grandparents and a quick visit turned into a homesick stay for a month My dad who was making little money as a rancher thought about moving back to Seattle to become a lawyer but My mom knew he would be miserable for the rest of his poor life and the only secret my Mother ever kept from my dad was a 2000 dollar check for emergencies and I don’t think she ever used it that year then came the day where my aunt Teya came to visit My aunt or step aunt I guess it was my grandfathers new wife’s daughter she was rich her husband was a doctor she had 2 adorable kids that pulled my hair on a regular basis and most of all she was a model and some would say she was better than my mother. so of course when my mom saw the letter she immediately assumed she would disagree with the way of life of a ranchers wife and my mom as always was pretty much right on point the letter that came 3 days before her visit was a secret code of saying my life is better than yours….my mother read aloud in the rich and fancy nasal voice of my aunt the letter stating “
Dear Anna,
I was hoping that maybe I could see that niece of mine that just popped out of your pooch of a stomach. I will be visiting the ranch on the 14th of May I think it will be a mighty grand experience I can’t wait to see Joseph I hear he is quite the charmer. I know that your house isn’t quite up to …standards so I’ve decided to stay in a hotel about 20 miles into town it’s not a far ride from your house maybe a good hour . I hope you don’t mind me bringing the children along for a picnic on Sunday I think it will be delightful for you to see Lily and Samuel they are 3 now oh how big they’ve gotten. Well I suppose we will arrive from the train station in Amarillo around 12:30pm so I guess I’ll hire a car service to pick us up since your tight on money I figured you had no car ok well I can’t wait to see you and I hope you have a pleasant week .
Your dearest sister, Teya
My mom went into my room and pulled out a dress it was pink and had pink tulips imprinted in the bottom silhouette she then went to her closet and pulled out a box .. in it contained a recipe book 8 blue floral imprinted china plates and silverware and curtains made of pure silk but at the bottom of that box was the secret the check for 2 thousand dollars the check that might make my mom go crazy at the supermarket
