The Sandy Years

Continuing on with my life history for not only mom but for my posterity as well.  I am going to focus on the years that we lived in Sandy, Utah.  I don't know that I will get through everything from those years but we will do our best. 

When we moved to Sandy it was the summer before I entered the 2nd grade.  One of the first things I remember during that time was having Phillip Kimball come over to play with Pete and I.  Down in the basement he told us that our house was haunted by a green rat.  Well that pretty much scared the crap out of me.  I lived in fear of this green rat for years.  When ever I was in the basement by myself and needed to go upstairs I would turn on some super human speed and fly up those stairs.  It was crazy.  Eventually Jim, Pete and I had a room down there.  It was a rather large area and we each had our own section of room.  It was great.  The only problem was that outside our door was the furnace and when that furnace would light up I could see the green ghost lining up outside the door.  I was terrified.  I even knew what it really was but was still terrified. 

I didn't get very far.  I am asleep and will carry on with more in coming posts.
