Out the window, I see a large cypress tree. I open the door and I can smell the hot tar that fills the cracks in the road. Every morning, I can hear the roosters crowing. Every night, I hear my dad watching the news on TV. My parents were artists so my first home was filled with art. It was an old house made of wood with a wooden shingled roof. From my house, I could walk to school and downtown. I lived with my parents and my sister. We had chickens, cats and a dog. On the walls were my father’s paintings. In the kitchen, I smell roasted chicken and in the living room I see the coach my father built. When I close my eyes, I can see my mom always busy, always watering the garden.
