26 Fairmount Avenue
26 Fairmount Avenue
“My mom and dad wanted the house to be built a certain way, but the builder didn’t listen to them. “I’m paying for it,” Dad said. And they fired the builder.
So 26 Fairmount Avenue just sat there all winter without any work being done. My dad and mom would put Buddy and me in the car and drive by to look at the sad, unfinished house. Maybe we would have to live in apartments forever.
Easter came. Easter was always fun because every year the Easter Bunny brought Buddy and me Easter baskets. I alw...ays got a stuffed animal, too. My favorite was a duck.
We got new “outfits” to wear to church on Easter Sunday. My mom must have loved to dress up Buddy and me, because there are pictures and home movies of us, Buddy in long pants, a jacket, and necktie; me in shorts, a striped shirt, and a beret. We certainly were what grown-ups call “fashion plates.”
“Guess what?” my dad said one day in the spring. “Johnny Papallo, Tony Nesci, and a few of my other friends are going to help us finish the house.”MoreLess
