108 Coleman - Elijah

         Before I moved to Lake City, I lived in Black Oak at 108 Coleman. I lived there until seventh-grade summer then moved to where I live now. It was a great place to live. A lot happened in that little three bedrooms, one bathroom house.

          When you first walk into the house you are in the living room which is where we all sit a watch TV or movies we had or ordered from Netflix together. If you go forward a little bit you are in the kitchen and dining room where we would sit at the table together and eat every night. We always had a show that we always watched together and wouldn't watch without each other. We loved watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. There were five or six seasons and we had seen every episode at least a couple of times maybe more

           While still in the kitchen/dining room there is a door to the left which leads to the laundry room and to the left was what used to be the game room but is now a garage. My dad would work on what he called "The Invention" that would our electricity basically. It was set up so that The Invention would run and create electricity, but also draw power from itself to constantly run so we'd never run out of electricity. I would watch him sometimes, but because I was a six-year-old it didn't keep my attention for very long. We had a desk set up right by the door in the game room with a computer so I would play on it or watch "The Crocodile Hunter" on the TV. I remember one day I had a Dr. Pepper sitting beside me while I was playing the computer and Dad also had his Dr. Pepper can sitting there but it was full of grizzly chewing tobacco spit. I wasn't paying no attention and grabbed his can and took a big drink. Dad was just coming in there and he saw me spit right back into the can and he about fell over laughing. I was laughing too but good Lord it was nasty.
              If you go back to the living room and take a right you go into the hallway which has all the bedrooms and bathroom. The first room to the right was my brothers' room. On the left was the bathroom and in the back of the hallway was my bedroom to the left and my parents' to the right.
              It was a great little house. I had so many great memories there.
