AI: And, then, about when was it that you sold that house and, did you have another house built?

MF: Yes. Well, that was, let me see now, now we did, that was on Twenty-ninth. That was our first house. Gosh. We lived in another house, which we bought. Isn't that funny, I can't remember. And then we built our own house.

AI: Where was that? Where did you have it built?

MF: It was 711 Thirty-ninth Avenue. That was a block from Lake Washington Boulevard and it was a dead end street. And it was, it was Thirty-eighth here went down this way and Thirty-ninth straight this way and so we bought a property on Thirty-ninth and our backyard was Thirty-eighth. It was on a slope and they just cut that flat to make, build the house. And our backyard was like this, on a slope.

AI: Kind of steep?

MF: And that's where I fell on a rock. I had Mr. Yamasaki bring huge rock to kinda make it kinda interesting in the backyard and I was weeding and I fell on the rock and hurt my back very badly. And the doctor said, "You've gotta move. You can't work here anymore." And so we lived here, lived there about eleven years, I think.

AI: It must've been hard to move from there.

MF: Oh, it sure was.

AI: You must have a lot of memories from that house.

MF: Oh yes. It was a beautiful house, beautiful house. I just loved it.
