MM&M chapter 2 the younger years in Auburn

I am not sure we would have moved to Auburn, it hadn't been for some unforseen issues.  My stepfather and my mother were on the outs and she got sick, real sick (I didn't remember this but my brother reminded me last may when we were able to sit and talk)  She seemed to have health problems a lot when I was young, and honestly she still does but in this case we moved out of the CH duplex and moved to a part of Sac, town that nobody wants to live in, in fact you don't want to drive through there on most nights.  So, we move (day 1), she gets sick (day 3 or 4) and ends up in the hospital for at least a week, maybe more, my brother and I end up staying with guess who?  yup back to the step dads house for  a week or two while mom is in the hospital....well while we spend our days in Citrus Heights, and mom is the hospital, our new rental is basically vacant, my brother sees this opportunity to enjoy CH, as he was actually held up for his lunch money the first day of school. but when my mom gets out of the hospital, we return home to find that our house had been robbed, and they took it all, and I mean all of it, the T.V. the appliances, the whatever, the only thing left was some random clothes that obviously didn't fit any kids they know.  It seemed that this was enough for my mom to reconcile with him.  We then found out that his grandfather had died and his grandmother was ill and was living in Hiltop Manor so we moved into thier house immediately.  If any of you visited me when we were kids, I lived across from the Veterans Hall in Auburn, an old Victorian house 2 doors down from the original Film Works offices.  The house was 2 bedrooms upstairs, large living area small kitchen, but a huge basement area that had an extra room and bath, along with a very large workshop.   So this begins the summer before 3rd grade.
