     order of business. Our Dad, with the 
     
     assistance of family and neighbors, had 
     
     the place livable within a few weeks. It 
     
     was exciting for our family to have our 
     
     first meal in our new home. We had very 
     
     little furniture. We sat on blocks of 
     
     wood to eat our first meal around an old 
     
     kitchen table. Our parents gradually 
     
     acquired other pieces to furnish the 
     
     house.
